JR Shikoku was founded in 1987, and the Setouchi Ohashi Line opened in April 1988.
JR Shikoku had a full lineup of direct diesel express trains, but due to a train shortage, they were unable to keep up with the demands of the Kanto region. They focused on the underpowered 111 series, equipped with an MT46 motor, and restored it to the JNR Settlement Corporation.
Without this, the 111 series would have been scrapped, and I was truly grateful to see it return to service on the railroad, even if only for a short time.
This time, we'll introduce you to the 111 series that has been revived in Shikoku, despite its unique circumstances.
