Product Description
──60th anniversary of the Tokaido Shinkansen! The nostalgic 0 series Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen makes an appearance.
[Actual vehicle guide]
- The Tokaido Shinkansen's first commercial train, the 0 series, will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2024. It has been manufactured since 1964 for many years due to its reliability, and has a total of about 3,200 Shinkansen cars.
- The specifications were changed in detail during the construction of the trains. In particular, the 1000 series, which was introduced in 1976 to replace the 0 series when the Tokaido Shinkansen line was opened, had its windows changed from one large window per two rows of seats to one small window per row of seats in order to deal with window damage caused by snow damage, and the side appearance changed significantly.
- As these trains were originally introduced to replace earlier cars that were mixed in with the existing trains, the Hikari trains were made up of recently manufactured intermediate cars with large windows, and these cars were called NH trains. However, three N trains, all of which were made up of 1000-series cars, were also introduced as spare trains for the replacement. These trains showed off the beauty of a neatly arranged train with small windows, including the 36-series dining car and the 27-series that was paired with it.
- The N and NH trains, which were equipped with dining cars, mainly served as "Hikari" trains between Tokyo and Hakata, traveling east and west along the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines, Japan's main artery, for business, tourism, and homecomings during the Obon festival.
