[About the actual vehicle]
――The Suro 60 type is the first special second class car equipped with a reclining seat, and 30 cars appeared in 1950, which is the prototype of the current green car.
――The second class car at that time was the latest Oro 41 type with a seat pitch of 1040 mm and a convertible cross seat, and the capacity was 60 people, but the Suro 60 type has a seat pitch of 1250 mm and a reclining seat, and the capacity is 44 people. I did. Due to the large disparity in equipment with conventional second-class cars, the Suro 60 type was originally planned as the first-class Sui 60 type, but eventually it will be the second-class car, and it has been conventional. It became the name of the special second class car (special b) to distinguish it from the second class car.
――As the model 60 shows, the Suro 60 type was a steel body passenger car that diverted the underframe of a wooden car to make a new car body, but the bogie is a new TR40 prepared for Suha 42 I am using the same dolly. In addition, since it was originally planned as a first-class car, air-conditioning preparation work was being carried out, and there were two lids for air conditioner inspection on the roof, with an air passage passing through the ceiling. It became unnecessary because it was changed to a second-class car, and the air-conditioning canopy was removed during the later modern remodeling, and these facilities ended up being unused.
--Suro 60 type started to be used on the limited express [Tsubame] on April 11, 1950, but soon it was found that the capacity of the water tank was insufficient, and the vehicle before the completion was expanded with a water tank, and other The same construction is being carried out on the vehicle during 1950. In May of the same year, a limited express [Hato] was newly established, but the Suro 60 type was not in time for this amount, and the conventional Oro 40 type was used, but from June it was replaced with the Suro 60 type. It was.
--In 1951, the dining car Mashi 35 and Mashi 36 for [Tsubame] and [Hato] appeared, but since they do not have a passenger managing conductor room, they are connected next to the Suro 60 type. In March and April of the same year, a window was installed in the luggage storage room of Suro 60 13-18 and remodeled into a passenger managing conductor's room, and it became Suro 60 113-118.
--In 1956, the Suro 60 type of [Tsubame] [Hato] was replaced with the Suro 54 type, and after that it became an express train, such as [Naniwa] [Meisei] [Galaxy] [Moonlight] [Comet] [Towada]. Used in. In 1957 and 1933, the incandescent lamp type Suro 60 was inferior to the Suro 54 type and Naro 10 type equipped with fluorescent lamps, so modernization and remodeling such as using fluorescent lamps and aluminum sashes for side windows However, because the first-class car (former special second-class car), which started in earnest from 1966, was excluded from the target of air-conditioning remodeling, the vehicle used for the express was also out of operation and was used as a group. In 1967, 27 cars were remodeled into Mani 36 and Mani 37 types, and 3 cars were scrapped and disappeared.
