JR KiHa 100 series (2nd batch)
Information
●The KiHa 100 series diesel railcar was introduced in 1990 to replace older models such as the KiHa 20 and KiHa 45 series.
Four prototype units were built initially, followed in 1991 by four improved mass-production units (the first batch); later that same year, a second batch featuring modifications such as a redesigned pilot (cowcatcher) was introduced.
While these trains primarily operated on the Ofunato, Kitakami, Yamada, Kamaishi, and Ominato lines, they are being replaced by the KiHa 110 series; they retired from the Ofunato Line with the timetable revision of March 2025, and the retirement of the fleet—particularly the prototype and first-batch units—is currently underway.
