Product Description
--The Hakusan-colored 489 series express train runs over Usui Pass!
[Actual vehicle guide]
- The 489 series was introduced in 1971 and is based on the 485 series and was modified to allow trains to pass between Yokokawa and Karuizawa on the Shinetsu Main Line.
- Since 1988, the 489 series trains used on the Hakusan Express have been renovated, with the exterior design changed to oyster white with rose, light ultramarine, and light cobalt blue.
- In addition to the Hakusan express train, it was also used as the Asama express train at intervals, and from 1993 it replaced the 14 series trains used for the Noto express train, and was also used on that train.
- The lead car of the Kanazawa Depot H03 train, Kuha 489 No. 3, had no cover on the headlight above the driver's cab, giving it a distinctive appearance.
- In the timetable change in October 1997, the Usui Pass and Hakusan express trains were discontinued, and the number of trains was reduced, so the former H03 trains were renumbered as H02 trains. Since then, they have been used on the Noto express trains and the Hakutaka and Raicho express trains, which were added to the service.
- From the end of 2000, the Hakusan-colored 489 series began to be restored to the JNR limited express colors, and the H02 train (formerly the H03 train) was the last train in this color, and was in service until around June 2002.
