Today's journey begins in 1989, with the introduction of the 221 series EMUpic.twitter.com/M7eQVoScY2
The slick design was a dramatic aesthetic departure from its predecessors, and set the standard for commuter & regional trains around Osakapic.twitter.com/yqzXr83kjm
In 1991, the 207 series was introduced; subsequently, the color scheme was changedpic.twitter.com/BgQnx84BO3
The 207 has a plush interior--you can see here pre- and post-renewal. Love the patterns on the reserved seatingpic.twitter.com/lBrdgVraXt
1994 saw the introduction of my favorite commuter train design outside of Tokyo--the 223 seriespic.twitter.com/QOqHqNzDdM
The 223 model has many variants--this type, the 0, was the first to be builtpic.twitter.com/gMhw8n7r7X
This is the 233-1000 variant; looking almost right...but the headlights are still narrow...pic.twitter.com/QLsK906Z4t
The version I love is the 233-2000 variant; many later variations *looked* the same despite mechanical differencespic.twitter.com/XgQNMnMWx7
Other variants that look pretty much identical to the 2000 variant include the 5000, 5500, and 6000pic.twitter.com/pcY487JaSj
...and this is the 223-9000 variant, an experimental model which new tech is tested onpic.twitter.com/Jv86lV0wrs
In 2003, a new EMU for regional and rural lines was introduced: the 125 seriespic.twitter.com/inRewfIBTK
Then in 2005, the 321 series was launched to replace the ageing 207spic.twitter.com/6e1PSTzhNt
The 225 series was introduced in 2010 to start replacing the 223s...an aesthetic downgrade if you ask me...pic.twitter.com/rIINDiXyOg
Like the 223, there are various models of the 225...pic.twitter.com/KOnfUbDPlC
In 2015, the tech developments of the Osaka area started to be felt in Hiroshima with the introduction of the 227 seriespic.twitter.com/XHJOv0BLEL
Finally, wrapping up with the newest design, specially intended for the Osaka Loop Line, launching 2017: the 323 seriespic.twitter.com/tKeqlrIqwU
