Product Description
--A commemorative train colored in autumn leaves travels through the mountains of Hanno!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
- The Seibu Railway 4000 series is a commuter train for the Chichibu Line that was introduced in 1988 as a successor to the 101 series.
- The undercarriage and performance inherit the 101 series system, and is equipped with a 150kw high-output motor and retarding brake that can handle continuous gradients.
- As this line is also a tourist route that runs through the mountains, accommodations include two doors, semi-cross seats, and toilets.
- Between 2002 and 2003, work was carried out to accommodate one-man operation, including the installation of long seats at the ends of the cars and cameras for checking inside the cars.
- Due to this, the window layout of odd-numbered KuHa 4000 series cars has changed slightly.
- October 2024 will mark the 55th anniversary of the opening of the Chichibu Line, and to commemorate this, the 4017 train has been painted vermilion.
- This paint scheme is inspired by the E851 electric locomotive that once ran on the Chichibu Line, bringing to life the locomotive's impressive appearance and the history of the Chichibu Line, which was also built as a freight line.
- As of December 2024, the 4017 train is used between Hanno and Seibu Chichibu, as well as for direct service to the Chichibu Railway's Mitakeguchi and Nagatoro stations on weekends.
