Product Description
──The only Niigata color in the 2000 series!
[Actual vehicle introduction]
- The Kiha 40 series is a general-purpose diesel railcar manufactured by Japanese National Railways (JNR) from 1977 onwards. There are three models, Kiha 40, Kiha 47 and Kiha 48, which differ in the arrangement of the driver's cab and passenger compartment doors. There are also many other model numbers depending on whether they are for warm or cold climates or have different equipment.
- The Kiha 40-2000 series has a dual driver's cab, single-wing doors, and is a vehicle for warm climates, and was mainly deployed in areas south of southern Tohoku.
- The Tadami Line (Aizu-Wakamatsu Station to Koide Station) was previously operated by Kiha 40 and Kiha 48 trains in Tohoku region colors that were attached to the Koriyama General Rolling Stock Center. However, they were damaged in the heavy rains in Niigata and Fukushima in July 2011, and the section between Aizu-Kawaguchi Station and Tadami Station was closed for a long period of time.
- As a result, the line was divided, and the section between Tadami Station and Koide Station on the Niigata side came under the control of the Niitsu Transportation District.
- In 2015, Kiha 40-2020 and Kiha 40-2023 were transferred from the Kogota district and put into service on the Tadami Line.
- These two cars are known as the only Kiha 40 series 2000 cars painted in Niigata colors.
- The Tadami Line was fully restored in October 2022, and the rolling stock was replaced with Kiha 110 and Kiha E120.
