[Introduction of Actual Vehicles]
In the past, freight trains of the Japan National Railways supported freight transportation. However, container transportation was introduced in the late 1950 s as a new method to replace inefficient freight trains.
The transportation unit was a single container unit, high-speed transportation by high-performance freight cars exclusively for containers, and the flexibility of easy collection and delivery by truck even far away from railroad tracks.
The first freight cars exclusively for containers were manufactured in 1959. The Chiki 5000 without a deck and Chiki 5500 with a deck (later changed from "Chiki" to "Koki") can carry five small first class containers.
The body color was different from that of conventional freight cars, and it was able to operate at a maximum speed of 85km/h.
The Koki 5000 was manufactured in the 1960 s as the first freight cars exclusively for containers.
The Koki 50000 was equipped with a deck and was incorporated into the Koki 5500.
The Koki 5500 was manufactured until 1970. Immediately after that, the large second class containers were introduced together with the succeeding Koki 5500. The brake system was modified to run at a maximum speed of 95km/h, the same as the Koki 50000.
From 1988 to 1989, the Koki 45500 series was incorporated into the Koki with a deck attached.
The Koki series was manufactured with a deck attached.
From the last lot of the Koki 5500 series with the TR216A bogies, 218 cars were remodeled.
