Product Description
──A delivery man running through Akiji! Hiroshima's Kumoni 83!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
From the 1960s onwards, as passenger trains were converted to electric cars, freight trains were introduced by modifying surplus Moha 72 series cars for freight transport.
The method adopted was to reuse the main equipment and underframe, and replace it with a newly manufactured car body equivalent to that of a new performance electric train.
The Kumouni 74, which also functioned as a mail car, was introduced in 1962, and from 1966 the Kumouni 82, which had a compartment, and the KumoNi 83, which was designed exclusively for baggage, were introduced.
The KuMoNi 83 was initially modified as a low-roof 800 series for the Chuo-Tohoku Line, and the 800 series was also introduced for regular lines.
The following year, the 0 series with a regular roof was introduced, and in 1973, with the development of the PS23 pantograph for low-profile tunnels, all freight trains subsequently converted were introduced as 0 series with a regular roof.
The KuMoNi 83 was deployed to Hiroshima Depot in 1966 following the conversion of local passenger trains on the Sanyo Main Line and Kure Line to the 80 series electric trains.
Around 1977, one 0-series car and four 800-series cars were deployed, and there are records of them being used as freight trains alone between Itosaki, Hiroshima, Yanai and Shimonoseki, as well as coupled with 111 series cars.
