The Fujikyu 6000 series (富士急行6000系, Fuji Kyūkō 6000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by private railway operator Fuji Kyuko (Fujikyu) on the Fujikyuko Line in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, since 2012. A total of four 3-car trains are scheduled to be introduced during fiscal 2011 and 2012, converted from former JR East 205 series EMU cars.[1]
Design
Converted from former JR East 205 series EMU cars, the exterior and interior design of the 3-car 6000 series EMUs was overseen by industrial designer Eiji Mitooka.[2]
Operations
The 6000 series trains operate on the 26.6 km Fujikyuko Line in Yamanashi Prefecture, which runs between Ōtsuki and Kawaguchiko, and are normally used on all-stations "Local" services.[3]
Formation
The 6000 series are formed as 3-car sets as shown below.[4] The first set was converted from three cars of former Keiyō Line 205 series set KeYo22.[5] The second set was converted from three cars of former Keiyō Line set KeYo 25 (KuHa 205-2 + MoHa 204-6 + MoHa 205-6).[5]
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
|---|---|---|
| KuMoHa 6501 (ex MoHa 205-33) | MoHa 6601 (ex MoHa 204-33) | KuHa 6551 (ex KuoHa 205-11) |
History
Conversion
The first set of three former Keiyō Line 205 series cars was transferred in unpainted form from JR East's Nagano Works to the Fujikyuko Line in October 2011. Modifications involved transplanting a driving cab onto a former intermediate motored car, the provision of LED destination indicators, and passenger-operated door buttons.[6]
The second set (former Keiyo Line set KeYo 25) was transferred to the Fujikyuko Line in January 2012.[5]
Driver training commenced in February 2012, with the units still in unpainted form.[7]
Entry into service
The first set entered revenue service on 29 February 2012 (a date which can be read as fu-ji-kyu in Japanese).[3] A formal debut event is scheduled for 18 March 2012.[2]
