Product Description
The 381 series was introduced in 1973 on the Chuo Main Line's "Shinano" limited express train as Japan's first mass-produced tilting train, developed by Japanese National Railways to traverse winding mountainous routes at high speeds.
Afterwards, it expanded its range of service to include the Kuroshio and Yakumo trains, and continued to operate on express trains throughout Japan for a long time, even as the era shifted from Japanese National Railways to JR.
In particular, the "Yakumo" train, which ran on the Hakubi Line and San'in Main Line, connected the Sanyo and San'in regions for over 40 years, from its introduction in 1982 until the end of its regular service in 2024.
Around the same time, it was also introduced to express trains in the Kansai region.
This book introduces the history of the 381 series from its inception to its demise, using a wealth of photographs and documents in full color, while also providing detailed information on each model, including detailed photographs of each type.
This book is a compilation of materials on the 381 series, which held a unique position among JNR express train types, including route maps for 381 series express trains, train formation diagrams for each express train, express train operation charts, vehicle history tables, and various type diagrams.
