Product Description
- In November 1959, the container express train "Takara" was introduced between Shiodome Station and Umeda Station, hauled by an EH10 type DC electric locomotive and Chiki 5000 type container freight cars. It was so well received that it was decided to expand container train operations nationwide.
- The Chiki 5500 type (later renamed Koki 5500) is a variation of the Chiki 5000 type, which is designed to be operated in formation, but has decks and handrails to allow for rearrangements in yards, etc., and allows the brakes to be operated on board.
- By 1970, 3,146 cars had been manufactured, including some that had been converted from KoKi 5000 series cars, and they were used not only on container-only trains but also on general freight trains mixed with covered and open cars.
