Product Description
──A modified long-seat vehicle spending the rest of its life in Sanin!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
- For a long time, JNR local trains tended to prioritize quantity over quality, but since the 1960s, as the modernization of power sources led to the introduction of electric trains and diesel cars, there was an increase in the number of passenger cars overall, and gradually improvements were made to the structure, such as the conversion and repurposing of surplus first-class cars and the transfer of post-war express local cars to replace 17m class passenger cars and war-damage restoration cars that remained for local lines and business use.
- In addition, while the rapid economic growth of Japan led to the intensification of morning and evening rush hour traffic, diesel cars were mainly deployed to improve frequent service during off-peak hours, so commuter and school transport continued to rely on long trains made of old-style passenger cars. As a solution to this problem, the seats in existing passenger cars were converted to long seats and the deck dividers were removed to accommodate packed transport.
- In addition to vehicles that were modified from existing ordinary cars, there were also vehicles that were downgraded and modified from the aforementioned first-class cars, and the window dimensions still retained the appearance of the original cars.
- Some carriages have had their toilets removed, but including the carriages that were retained, the capacity of the intermediate cars was said to be 120 passengers, and the capacity of the brake vans was 110 passengers.
- These converted commuter passenger cars were generally grouped into [Oha 41] and [Oha Fu 41] groups, and were classified by number series according to the base car.
- When the 50 series passenger cars were introduced on the San'in Main Line in 1979 to replace the old passenger cars at Shimonoseki Depot, the SuHaFu 42 cars were modified to conform to commuter models for use as sightseeing cars, and three cars appeared as the 200-series OHaFu 41 cars, but all of them were retired by 1985.
