JR West Operates Sightseeing Train ‘Hana Akari’ for Osaka-Kansai Expo Between Osaka and Onomichi
Sagami Railway will begin introducing the new 13000 series trains from the fiscal year 2025.
As the second phase of the “Design Brand Up Project” that started in 2014, the new trains have been designed by adding the keyword “Future” to the existing design concept of “Safety × Security × Elegance.” The front design of the trains is inspired by the sleek shapes of sea creatures cutting through water. The headlights are based on the newly added concept of “Future,” designed as “Eyes Looking into the Future,” and a new “Concept Emblem” with distinct edges is installed at both ends.
Details such as the overall design, the start of operations, operational sections, and train information will be announced as they are decided.
