The 485 series is a representative express train for AC/DC powered trains of the Japanese National Railways.
When the 485 series trains that ran on the Hitachi were assigned to the Katsuta Depot, they were collected from Aomori, Sendai, Mukomachi, Minami-Fukuoka, and Kagoshima, and many of the trains were early models except for the Saro 481, making them well-equipped trains that were reminiscent of the golden age of express trains.
The KuHa 481 series trains transferred from the Kyushu region continued to run for a while, with their distinctive red skirts with a cream stripe at the base, which indicates that they were 60Hz AC trains, and the omission of the whiskers on the bonnet, even though the Joban Line north of Toride is a 50Hz AC section.
