History
Twelve three-car trains were converted in 1986 from former JNR 101 series commuter EMUs. Conversion included the addition of a second pantograph on the DeHa 1000 cars and the inclusion of a luggage area at the cab ends separated by a curtain arrangement.
Air-conditioning was added to the end cars from fiscal 1994, with the centre cars in each set left without air-conditioning.
The trains were modified for wanman driver only operation from December 1999. The final train ran on 23 March 2014.
