Information
During the period of material shortages immediately following the Pacific War, many "war-damaged restoration cars" were made by repairing and returning to service vehicles damaged by air raids and other disasters. Among these, the group restored as JNR passenger cars were numbered in the 70s and, taking into account transportation conditions, had bodies similar to commuter trains with three doors on each side, making them valuable assets. There were a variety of base cars, and models were mainly divided by weight category and use, so it is noteworthy that, combined with the differences in the damage suffered, there was a wide variety of forms within the same model. War-damaged restoration cars were retired from the front line as new vehicles were built, but in the 1950s they were gradually converted and repurposed to replace wooden commercial vehicles. The Mayuni 78-15 was born when the Oha 78-6 was converted at the Nagano factory in March 1954. It was initially assigned to the Kyushu Railway Bureau, but was transferred to the Toei Railway Bureau within the same year, and after serving at the Ogu Passenger Car Depot, it was transferred to the Ikeda Branch of the Obihiro Passenger and Freight Car Depot of the Kushiro Railway Bureau in Hokkaido in 1962, and in 1966 it was remodeled into the rescue car Sue 78-15.
