185 series 0-series limited express model description
Overview
- The 185 series 0-series was introduced in 1981 to replace the 153 series that served express and local routes to the Izu area.
- For about six months after introduction it ran on the express Izu service alongside the 153 series.
- After the Izu express was upgraded to a limited express and renamed Odoriko, the 185 series primarily operated on the Odoriko route.
