The 117 series is a commuter train that was introduced in 1979 to improve passenger service in the Keihanshin area.
The 'SUN Liner' was a rapid train that ran between Okayama and Fukuyama and was introduced in March 1989, and was later renamed 'Sunliner.' When the number of trains increased in 1992, surplus 117 series trains were introduced and the train was given a new look with a special paint scheme that featured a white base with yellow and red gradations, which attracted a lot of attention.
After that, the train continued to operate after being modified to be operated by a single driver, but in its later years, the paint scheme was simplified, and the Sunliner paint scheme disappeared in 2016.
