East Japan Railway's E257 series
EMU for Limited Express
E257 series has debuted in 2001 as limited express "Azusa" and "Kaiji" on Chuou main line and Oito Line and an old EMU of 183 series replacement. We have designed and manufactured lightweight and low center-of-gravity on vehicles for passenger's comfortable nature because of many curve tracks and narrow tunnels on these lines. Moreover, we have verified the air-conditioning performance and manufactured the vehicles, which pursued comfortable nature. We have adopted as the vehicles coating "Takeda's diamond" which is the family crest of "Samurai" general "Takeda Shingen" who lived in Kofu 550 years ago as an image of Chuou main line. Peach, turquoise blue, yellow and blue to be vehicle-painting color show the four (4) seasons in Japan. Silver means the Japan Alps. Thanks to you, E257 series EMU wined the "Blue Ribbon Prize" as best rolling stock in 2002 by Japan Rail Fan Club.
