　JR Kyushu is inaugurated and 10 years passed. The other day area sticking, customer enterprise I have tackled with various businesses with a slogan including the railroad business. I want to try to look back this 10 of the railroad vehicle with this middle.

The possession vehicle of inauguration original JR Kyushu started in the condition where the 1/3 said with trifling even the reclining chair of the super-express train for more than a passing year 20 year, although there was the new production of the part of local vehicle in privatization immediately before.

On the other hand, the highway upgrading that periphery environment ties the north and south, the east and west of Kyushu is going on and was the situation of inevitable to exert a big influence on the transport between the main city that is one of the big pillars of the railroad businesses of (all the in 1996 piece), JR Kyushu.

JR Kyushu has remarked transportation service for more 10 times such the middle and combine to this and doing the input of the new-style vehicle I have done the upgrading of the line body system of city period and also main urban area.

Improving substantially even the convenience nature of the train of city period, main urban area as a result of, this even the customer number of an/the application was able to increase it largely to 680,000 inauguration original people to 860,000 people of in a day.

I introduce it below about the vehicle that bore this 1 wing.

1.Series 783 system super-express trains (HYPER SALOON)

It was input more at the March, in Showa 1988 as the super-express train after JR inauguration. "ARIAKE" to at the beginning after that "KAMOME", "NICHIRIN" and the application range.

783 systems to call with the super-express to it, beside they raise the service level such as the impact and speed-up of a/the new car input (the maximum speed 130 km/h is the one that started on development from the first inauguration aiming at) h -ization+20 km/h, curve passage speed main rule. The combination of the reserved seat/unreserved seat, non-smoking seat/smoking room etc. are possible even by train simple organization by this, although it is the style with the characteristic that established a/the door in the center. Development that time introduces a new thought in a/the every place even concentration, touching visitor face and observe the vehicle because the input of the high vehicle of the grade continued after that, although it was the novel vehicle and gave renewal to the that standard from 1993 to 1995 besides the latest technology.

After that besides between Hakata and Nagasaki, "KAMOME" contemporarily along with the input of a form and to "ARIAKE" Hakata and Kumamoto applied be.

Also carrying out renewal of serial reclining chair -ization regarding 485 systems that were the main force at that time upgrade is being measured.

2.Series 787 super-express trains (TSUBAME)

Developing the vehicle that offers new time space among Hakata〜west Kagoshima it was input in the summer of 1992.

The part of single line section was able to achieve the shortening in the whole average attainment time in the line ward which remains, along with that the performance of the super-express train between Hakata and west Kagoshima was unified along with this. It made h 130 km/to pursue the improvement of thorough amenity to the premise the maximum speed. The vehicle different from the fixed image that the customer wears about the railroad vehicle often with the pursuit of the layout, thorough interior design with the margin, as the creation of the space that spends comfortably gave be created.

There is the consideration to the foundamental part of a service as the biggest characteristic of this vehicle. Floor structure is made thick of I was able to offer the space where, decreases the noise inside a/the guest room substantially through the means, meat with the expansion of the width, sheet pitch of a nonexistent seat up to now and settle and be able to relax to interior design and phase, customer quiet space, it may be case.

Also I prepared the equipment that is able to correspond to the various purpose, needs such as the buffet establishment by the service of multiple space, "Tsubame Lady" that establish the semi-compartment seat to the first-class railroad car to the car usually the private room and group seat, and be able to use multi-purposely. Changing conventional concept regarding the rest room even the division, structure unified with the washroom for women with for men. Also adopting the rest room for the first time the vacuous suck style that substitutes to a conventional circulation style disposal of sewage and garbage device and have an effect in the stink measure it became the start of the nationwide development after that.

Regarding a/the train name by using the name of tradition certain "the swallow" of a/the railroad, at the present moment the super-express train between Hiroshi many〜west Kagoshima is using all this "a/the swallow" the model vehicle.

3.Series 883 super-express trains (SONIC 883)

It made to develop the new vehicle that the project of the highspeed by the support of the railroad upgrading fund and local end autonomy are advanced about a day rich line and aimed for the speed-up in accordance with this.

The Series 883 vehicle is with the first tilting vehicle for the alternating currentsystem car. I was able to introduce the tilting system with the control by compact -ization of inverter system lady style adoption, various kinds devices although the interchange train needs to install interchange unique devices to floor inferiority and difficulty is reached on systems.

Also I did development to measure, combine the further improvement of the acomodation, service as the vehicle of the next generation of "TSUBAME" and cause the reduction of weight, low center of gravity -ization for the speed-up stood together. Curve passage speed this as a result of the conventional main rule+20 km/h the travelling performance that stabilized able to be secured to the speed area where exceeds 30 km/h.

On the residence inclination of the seat that overcomes the narrowness of the body width that is the restriction of the tilting vehicle as the commuter train that ties city period and it did the device that makes busy glass and ask to enjoy the trip cheerfully from the composed atmosphere of "TSUBAME".

It is input and be make a round trip to 4 among Hakata〜Oita in April, 1995 and expand with 15 round trips from March and even the train name claimed to be "SONIC" from " NICHIRIN ".

4.Series 811 local trains

The 1st formation was input as the vehicle for the high speed of Heisei first year spring, north Kyushu. The improvement and commuting attending school transport of amenity in daytime caused to be stood together with the adoption of the conversion cross sheet with 3 doors. The shortening in the attainment time of a/the high speed train even a nature Noh mask became possible by the output up and reduction of weight of motor. Both 112 are input by the present.

5.Series 813 local trains

It was input from the spring of 1994 as the succession cars of 811 systems. the body followed Series 811 and adopted the VVVF inverter controll system for the first time to a main circuit system. Although Series 811 were produced with both 4 organization 813 systems aim for the economization, elasticity -ization of future transport and made a few both organization. Also I apply and connect automatically due to the economization of the division annexation work of halfway and develop release possible "automatic rags" and the shortening in division, annexation time became possible.

6. diesel car

Two forms were input as for the replacement of the rail diesel car of an/the unelectrification line ward.

Series 200 diesel car installed the nail clutch ceremony transmission and high output engine at the beginning of the world that developed joint "the brushing-away of the minor image of the rail diesel car" to the concept with a JR total lab and materialized the substantial speed-up of the high speed train of Sasaguri line. After that it is input to Ibusuki Makurazaki line, Oomura line, Hohi line and be contributing to the improvement of the image of each line ward.

Series 125 diesel car was input in the spring of 1993 as for the dictatorial chief line ward. It is applied with Karatsu line, 久 large line with the rail diesel car of the dictatorial chief specification of the body length 18 m.
