The 159 series (159系) was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Japanese National Railways (JNR) from 1961 until 1980.[1] They were originally designed for and used on school excursion trains running between Tokyo and the Nagoya area via the Tokaido Main Line.[1]

Broadly based on the earlier 155 series trains, the 159 series trains were also initially painted in the JNR excursion train livery of "lemon yellow" and "light scarlet".[1]

History

The 159 series sets entered service from 2 April 1961 on Komadori (こまどり) school excursion services running on the Tokaido Main Line between Shinagawa Station in Tokyo and Ogaki Station in Aichi Prefecture.[3] Trains carried headboards on the front with the name of the train.[1] An additional four-car set was delivered in 1962 to allow 16-car formations to be run.[2]

The Komadori school excursion services were discontinued in 1973, and the 159 series were reassigned to use on "rapid" limited-stop services and charter train services, repainted into the Shonan livery of orange and green.[2]

The entire fleet was withdrawn from service by fiscal 1980.[1] No 159 series vehicles have been preserved.[4]
