103 series EC on Bantan Line

The 103 series trains, which were operated on lines such as the Yamanote Line, Chuo Line, and Sobu Line in the Tokyo metropolitan area from the 1960s to the 2000s, have gradually decreased in number and can now only be seen on limited lines such as the Himeji-Teramae section of the Bantan Line. This gallary shows the 103-3500 series electric cars, still operating on the Bantan Line in their distinctive maroon color.
