Product Description
■ The Kiha 82 Series was born based on the Kiha 81 Series, which gained a track record on the Tohoku Express "Hatsukari", with the aim of introducing and increasing the number of diesel trains on non-electrified main lines. The Kiha 82, the first car, was equipped with a through door in consideration of the separation and merging of trains on local lines. At the same time, the Xie 80, a dining car with a driving engine, also appeared. In October 1961 (1961), it made its debut on the "Shiratori" limited express train on the Nihonkai-Jukan Line. It continued to be active for a long time as a star limited express train on the main and sub-main lines connecting large and local cities, such as "Ozora" on the Hokkaido line, "seagull" on the Kyoto-Nagasaki line, and "Matsukaze" on the Sanin Sanin Limited Express, and continues to be appreciated as a completed form of the JNR diesel limited express train.
