KIHA 283 "Super-Ozora" 6-car powered
set
|
Click
on photo to see larger version. |
|
- JR Hokkaido in the northern main island of Japan
started operation of the Series Kiha283 Express Train "Super-Ozora" ("Blue
Sky") in 1997.
- This is a pendulum diesel train,
an improved version
of Kiha 281 operated as express "Super-Hokuto" ("Northern
Stars"). It exceeds its
predecessor in many respects, such as body shape,
passenger car equipment, state-of-art highpowered motor and linked self-controlling pendulum trucks.
- The Pendulum trucks allow the train to
sway and tilt as it runs, allowing for a smoother
ride for the passengers.
- Compared to the Kiha281, the Kiha283 has several
big differences. The ventilators are removed from the rooftop, making the train appear more
streamlined.
- The windows on the body sides, which were combined in a line on the 281, are now
clearly separated from each other.
- Furthermore, the prototype’s front display
and body-side displays use LED markers.

- JNR developed the EF81 type electric locomotive
in order to operate on the Nihonkai-Jyukan Line which is electrified by 1,500VDC, 20,000V 50Hz
AC, and 20,000V 60Hz AC in 1968.
- The EF81 is specially designed to be compatible with
this power supply.
- The EF81 requires heavy protection against cold weather and snow, because
EF81 is operated where it snows heavily, and
is equipped with special equipment to make the
car body lighter.

- JR West began to re-build 223 series vehicles
for special rapid service in 1999.
- With a lower floor
and center of gravity than the -1000 series E223,
the E223-2000 series units are able to have
roof mounted air conditioners, unlike their 1000
series counterparts which needed them under the floor to place the weight lower in the
cars.
- Currently, 223-2000 series EMU’s are
used
on special rapid services of JR Kobe and Kyoto
lines.
