261F of the EMU Seibu 101 series arrive at Musashi-Sakai station
Following the "Umikaze color" train, I am going to show you the other special color train on the Seibu Tamagawa line today.
On January 14th, 2018, Seibu launched an "Izu-Hakone Railway color" train, 261F of the EMU 101 series. Its body color is same as that of Izu-Hakone Railway's 1302F of the EMU 1300 series. As you may know, Izu-Hakone Railway is a Seibu Group company in Shizuoka Prefecture in the central part of Japan. Izu-Hakone Railway recently had its 100th anniversary. The Seibu Tamagawa line also had its 100th anniversary, so that it is a time to celebrate two Seibu Group companies' anniversaries.
261F of the EMU Seibu 101 series is a 4-car train built by Seibu Tokorozawa Factory in 1980. Its body length is 20 meters and it has 6 passenger doors per unit. 261F consists of two motorcars and two trailers (2M2T). Its technical specification is rather old with a rheostatic electric control system, but 261F is the powerful train as it has 150 kW DC motors. 261F was once renovated in 2005. The resisters and compressors were changed to the new ones. Standard type pantographs were replaced by single-armed ones. Motor generators were changed to SIVs (auxiliary power units). This old train can still keep up with young ones.
261F has white-color bodies with dark blue-color stripes. I like this body color design, as it glows backed by the blue sky both on the Seibu Tamagawa line and Izu-Hakone Railway.
