【国鉄103系前編】さようなら奈良線103系
久々にブログ更新します！皆様、こちらの動画はもうご覧になりましたでしょうか？
日本の経済成長時、通勤通学時の混雑問題がとても深刻でした。
それまでは古い「旧型国電」と呼ばれる茶色い電車が主流でしたが、この社会問題に対処するために新しい電車が登場したのです。
それが101系電車のアップグレード版で、昭和37年にデビューした103系です。
この電車は山手線など都心の通勤路線で使用され、昭和58年までに3447両も生産されました。
その後、民営化が進み、JR西日本が約900両を引き継ぎましたが、新しい車両の導入に伴い、令和4年までに48両に減少しました。
そして、令和4年3月のダイヤ改正で、奈良線で運用されていたNS407編成とNS409編成の2編成も運行から外れることになりました。今回の動画では、この2編成の走行シーンを収録し、103系通勤形電車の歴史を振り返っています。
また後編では、昭和37年に登場した103系の中でも、その時代の雰囲気を残しているR1編成を追跡。この編成は和田岬線で最後に活躍し、特徴的なスカイブルーの外観がありますよね。よろしければ、動画をチェックしてみてください！
It has been a while since I updated my blog! Have you all seen this video yet?
During Japan's economic growth, the problem of congestion during commuting to and from work was very serious.
Up until then, the old "old type Kokuden," or brown trains, were the norm, but a new type of train was introduced to address this social problem.
This was the 103 series, an upgraded version of the 101 series train, which debuted in 1962.
These trains were used on the Yamanote Line and other commuter lines in central Tokyo, and as many as 3,447 cars were produced by 1983.
Later, with the privatization of the company, JR West took over about 900 cars, but the number was reduced to 48 by 2022 as new cars were introduced.
In March 2022, two trains, NS407 and NS409, which had been operating on the Nara Line, were removed from service. In this video, the running scenes of these two trains are recorded, and the history of 103 Series commuter trains is reviewed.
The second part of the video traces the R1 formation, which was introduced in 1962 and retains the atmosphere of that era among the 103 Series trains. This formation was the last one to be used on the Wadamisaki Line, and it has a distinctive sky-blue exterior, doesn't it? If you like, you can check out the video!
