Description

Nine six-car trains of the 117 Series were used in the Nagoya area at the end of the JNR era, but in 1986, in order to improve transportation capacity, the lead cars were newly manufactured and the trains were reconfigured to form 18 four-car trains.

After the privatisation, it was taken over by Central JR and in 1989 it was changed to a white body with an orange belt, and after 1994, the painting was simplified.

The actual trains continued to operate after the introduction of the 313 series, and were seen running together with the 313 series. In 2009, one of the trains was reprinted in the revival colour (JNR paint) with a brown belt.
