[Vehicle Guide]
The 103 series commuter train is a Japanese National Railways (JNR) commuter train that debuted in 1964.
The 103 series, used on the Ome Line and other lines, was introduced in 1976 with the aim of replacing older trains.
Subsequently, the 103 series was also introduced to replace the 101 series on the Musashino Line, and it came to be used commonly on the Ome Line, Itsukaichi Line, and Musashino Line.
The introduction of high-cab ATC trains to lines such as the Ome Line was after the privatization of JR, with the aim of replacing the early 103 series trains.
In its later years, the high-cab ATC trains were configured in 4-car and 6-car sets for the Ome and Itsukaichi lines, and 8-car sets for the Musashino Line, adapting to demand. They remained in service until they were replaced by the 201 and 205 series trains.
