The KiHa 283 series (キハ283系) is a tilting diesel-hydraulic multiple unit (DMU) train type operated by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido) on limited express services in Hokkaido, Japan, since 1997.[2] They were based on the KiHa 281 series trains introduced in 1994.[3]

Operations

[edit]

KiHa 283 series trainsets have been used on the following services.[3][additional citation(s) needed]

History

[edit]

A three-car pre-production set was delivered from Fuji Heavy Industries in 1995 for evaluation and testing.[2]

20 production vehicles were delivered from 1996,[2] with the first trains introduced on Super Ōzora services between Sapporo and Kushiro from the start of the revised timetable on 22 March 1997.[3]

A further batch of 12 vehicles was delivered to coincide with the introduction of KiHa 283s on Super Hokuto services between Hakodate and Sapporo, operating alongside the KiHa 281 series sets.[2]

KiHa 283 series sets were also introduced on some Super Tokachi services between Sapporo and Obihiro from 11 March 2000.[3]

From the start of the revised timetable on 12 March 2022, all Ōzora limited express services are scheduled to be operated by KiHa 261 series DMUs;[7] the KiHa 283 series DMUs were withdrawn from Ōzora limited express services on 11 March 2022.[4] The KiHa 283 series was reallocated for use on Okhotsk and Taisetsu limited express services on the Sekihoku Main Line from 18 March 2023,[8] operating as three-car sets[5] and replacing the older KiHa 183 series DMUs used on these services.[9]

2011 Sekishō Line derailment and fire

[edit]

On 27 May 2011, a 6-car KiHa 283 series train was destroyed by fire after it derailed and made an emergency stop inside the 685-metre-long (2,247 ft) No. 1 Niniu Tunnel on the Sekishō Line in Shimukappu, at around 21:55, while forming the Super Ōzora 14 service from Kushiro to Sapporo.[10][11] The train was formed as follows, with car 1 at the Kushiro end. All cars were gutted by fire,[11] and were officially withdrawn on 30 June 2011.[12]
