information
●The 113 series is a DC suburban electric train introduced in 1963 as a higher-output version of the 111 series, which had debuted in 1962. Strictly speaking, the "113 series" designation originally applied only to the powered cars (motor cars); however, the series—including the associated cab cars and trailer cars—saw a total production of 2,943 units by 1982, with various specification and structural changes made along the way. These trains were a common sight for many years, operating primarily on flat-terrain routes within the nation's DC-electrified network. Because production of the original 111 series motor cars ceased after only 64 units, the term "113 series" is often used in a broad sense to encompass the entire family of vehicles, distinguishing them from the narrow definition of the 111 series motor cars. When the Fukuchiyama Line was electrified in 1986, the required 113 series trains were sourced through the transfer and modification of existing stock—taking into account the Japanese National Railways' (JNR) financial constraints at the time—with early-production units selected as the base vehicles. As these trains were being adapted from warm-climate specifications to cold-climate use, they featured external modifications such as the installation of handles for semi-automatic door operation and a new livery known as "Fukuchiyama Color" (Yellow No. 5 body with a Blue No. 20 stripe); they were subsequently classified as the 800 series subgroup. The 800 series included four-car formations and two-car formations (created via cab-conversion modifications). The fleet comprised both vehicles that were already air-conditioned and those that were not; among the non-air-conditioned units, some were later retrofitted with decentralized air-conditioning systems following the privatization and division of JNR. This model is based on the Fukuchiyama Train Depot's K4 set. In addition to the aforementioned air-conditioning retrofit using distributed units, a distinctive feature is that the lead car at the odd-numbered end had already been fitted with sealed-beam headlights during its time as the original configuration. Around 1990, the set was temporarily transferred to the Aboshi Train Depot while retaining its "Fukuchiyama livery," and it was seen in service on Rapid trains along the Tokaido and Sanyo Main Lines, as well as on the Kusatsu and Kosei Lines.
