[Set contents] [Ohafu 15 JR specification] [Introduction to the actual car] The 14 series passenger car appeared in 1972 as a passenger car equipped with the same facilities as limited express trains, such as simple reclining seats and heat-absorbing glass for the passenger compartment windows. Since 1968, the development of a high-speed train network connecting Shinkansen stations with various regional cities has progressed, and in subsequent timetable revisions, the number of limited express trains has increased due to the upgrading of express trains. As a result, 12-series passenger cars, designed based on express train cars, were sometimes used on limited express trains. However, because the 12-series cars had inferior facilities for limited express trains, the 14-series passenger cars were created. They were used in a wide range of areas, including temporary limited express trains, chartered trains, and express trains, throughout Japan except for Shikoku.
