Experience the Semi-Private Feel for 1,200 Yen—Is There Already a Battle for the Newly Introduced “P Seats” on the Tokaido Shinkansen?
Oigawa Railway will receive five Series 12 cars owned by JR West.
These cars were newly manufactured in 1978 and were allocated to the JNR Miyahara passenger car district. Since then, they have been used as special and group trains, as well as passenger cars for the SL Kita-Biwako service. Their parent company, Eclipse Hidaka, will provide financial support to acquire them as operational vehicles.
They are scheduled to be used in commercial trains such as SL trains, and the start of operations will be announced at a later date.
