Product Description
──Former sleeper express train 419 series! Hokuriku Main Line
[Actual vehicle introduction]
- The 419 series is a suburban-type train made from surplus 581/583 series sleeper express trains that were made in order to shorten regular train formations and increase the frequency of service in the Hokuriku region.
- Modifications were kept to a minimum, including the installation of a driver's cab, removal of the sleeping berth, replacement with semi-cross seats, and the addition of additional doors for boarding and alighting.
- Because the train units were limited to three cars, there was a shortage of leading cars, so to make up for this, the middle cars were converted to leading cars.
- This modification to the leading car was carried out by attaching a driver's cab similar to that of a freight train to the middle car, and its external features include a unique deep roof with a gabled roof.
- Since the Hokuriku Main Line had both AC and DC sections, the AC/DC equipment of the base cars was used as is.
- When first introduced, the train was painted wine red with an ivory stripe, but from 1988 it was gradually changed to the "Shin-Hokuriku color" of white with a blue stripe.
- It served on the Hokuriku Main Line for a long time, but was retired from regular service by 2011 with the introduction of its successor, the 521 series.
