East Japan Railway Company (JR East, Japan) will introduce new rolling stock on the Ou Main Line (Yamagata Line) between Fukushima and Shinjo stations, with revenue service starting around autumn 2026.
It will introduce 11 two-car sets (22 cars in total) of the E723 series 5000 subseries. The exterior design inherits the color scheme of the 701 series 5500 subseries and the 719 series 5000 subseries.
The width of the longitudinal bench seats will be increased to improve comfort. Each car will feature a free space (multi-purpose area), as well as a Western-style toilet compatible with powered wheelchairs, security cameras, and emergency intercoms. Side-mounted cameras will be installed to support driver-only (one-person) operation.
