Information
For a long time since the Meiji era, railroads have been used to transport mail. Most mail cars, in addition to transporting mail, were equipped with a workroom and sorting shelves for sorting mail while traveling, and had few side windows and a row of small windows for lighting at the top of the side where they did not interfere with the shelves. Some side windows also had large red postal symbols. Japanese National Railways, which was working to reduce the weight of passenger cars, introduced 10-series passenger cars in 1955, and the Oyu 10-series mail cars appeared in 1957. With the introduction of the successor 12-series and 14-series passenger cars, the design of mail cars was also upgraded, and the Oyu 14-series mail cars appeared in 1972 as new air-conditioned cars. The group based on the Oyu 14-series and equipped with electric heating were renamed the Suyu 16-series due to their increased weight, and 20 cars were manufactured between 1973 and 1978. They were mainly used on night express trains that ran through electrified sections in cold regions, but with the end of Japanese National Railways mail transport, all of the cars were scrapped by 1986.
