The 719 series (719系 719-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type introduced in 1989 by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on services in the Miyagi, Yamagata, and Fukushima area of Japan.[1]

Design

Built jointly by Nippon Sharyo and Tokyu Car,[2] the type is based on the 415-1500 series EMU design, with all units formed as 2-car sets.[3]

Variants

As of 1 October 2014, the fleet consists of 42 719-0 series two-car sets based at Sendai and 12 719-5000 series two-car sets based at Yamagata.[4]

719-0 series

The 719-0 series consists of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) narrow-gauge two-car sets based at Sendai Depot for use on the Tohoku Main Line, Senzan Line, and Banetsu West Line. 42 sets were built by Tokyu Car Corporation between December 1989 and August 1991.[4] The trains reused some equipment from withdrawn JNR-era EMUs, including the DT32 (motored) and TR69 (trailer) bogies, as well as the pantographs.[3]

Some sets (H10 to H15) were reliveried in an "Akabe" colour scheme for Banetsu West Line services from 2007.[4] One set, H27, was converted to become the 719-700 series FruiTea excursion train in 2015.

Formations

The 719-0 series sets are numbered H1 to H42, and are formed as follows, with one motored "Mc" car and one non-powered trailer ("Tc") car, and the KuHa 718 car at the southern end.[4][5]
