information
The 165 series was introduced in 1963 as an express train for mountain routes on DC electrified sections.
The Tokai Express is a train that runs between Tokyo and Shizuoka, and has a long history, originating from the semi-express Tokai that appeared in 1955.
Since 1989, the 165 series from Shizuoka Depot has been in charge of operating the Tokai Express, and in addition to this train, it also ran the 375M and 372M overnight local trains that ran between Tokyo and Ogaki, affectionately known to passengers as the "Ogaki Night Trains."
It was an express train with a yellow-orange and two-green Shonan color scheme and a Green Car attached, which strongly reminded us of the old days of the Japanese National Railways, but with the timetable change on March 16, 1996, the express "Tokai" was upgraded to the limited express "Tokai", and the Ogaki night train was upgraded to the rapid "Moonlight Nagara", and the cars used were also changed from the 165 series to the 373 series.
Upon its retirement, for about two weeks until the timetable change, all basic formations were equipped with trapezoidal headmarks that imitated the old appearance, with the Tokyo side uniformly red, and the Shizuoka side having a different color for each formation, with the K1 formation having a yellow mark on the Shizuoka side.
