About :
In the October 1978 timetable change, the number of train kilometers for both passengers and freight was reduced for the first time for the "Go Santo" due to the decline in demand caused by "leaving JNR". JNR also introduced new measures such as adding illustrations to the headmarks of express trains and reviving the headmarks of sleeper express trains that had once been abolished due to rationalization as part of efforts to improve the image of express trains, which attracted attention. However, the accumulated deficit continued to increase, the conflict with the union showed no signs of improvement, and due to the constraints of being a public corporation, it was unable to implement any drastic measures to increase revenue. In terms of rolling stock, the 201 series, which adopted an armature chopper system, was mass-produced, and the 185 series and 117 series, which adopted a concept different from that of conventional rolling stock for specific lines, were newly introduced. For diesel railcars, the Kiha 40 series, equipped with a newly developed engine, was newly introduced, but the increase in engine power was offset by the increase in weight, so it was by no means high performance, and the interior equipment was limited to improvements on the conventional rolling stock. On the other hand, During this period, trains used in metropolitan areas were replaced by new ones and transferred to local areas and branch lines, and old system trains, known as "old XX" trains manufactured until shortly after the war, were rapidly replaced and disappeared. In this period, the Second Provisional Administrative Reform Commission formally announced in its basic report in 1982 that "Japan National Railways should be divided and privatized within five years," and a drastic reform including the dissolution of Japan National Railways began. Therefore, from this issue onwards, I would like to introduce photos I took in various places from 1978 to 1982, from October 1953 onwards, when the Tohoku and Joetsu Shinkansen lines opened, and the railway transportation system in eastern Japan changed dramatically, and the drastic reform of Japan National Railways was decided. This is the sixth instalment, and I will introduce trains that were in operation in the southern Tohoku and Niigata areas.
