[Product introduction]
- The Super Kuroshio was introduced in 1989 as a modified version of the 381 series used for the Kuroshio.
- The Salo 381 was converted into a leading car, and various changes were made, including a panoramic green car with a large front window and enlarged side windows, improved interior accommodations, and a white exterior with red and orange designs, completely changing the image of the Kuroshio, which had previously been operated with the JNR-colored 381 series.
When it was first introduced it consisted of six cars, but three additional cars were added, making it a maximum of nine cars, and it served as a limited express train connecting the Kansai region and Nanki.
- The Super Kuroshio, which ran on the Kisei Main Line in the early Heisei period, is here.
- Not only can you enjoy driving it together with the 381 series [Super Kuroshio] (renovated car), 283 series [Ocean Arrow] and other vehicles on the Kisei Main Line and Osaka Loop Line, but it is also an indispensable vehicle for KATO's past [Kuroshio] lineup and 381 series collections.
