211 series

The 211 series is a Japanese suburban electric multiple unit operated by the Japanese National Railways and its various successors since February 1986.
==History==
Developed to replace the 113 and 115 series sets, the 211 series has been used on various suburban services around Japan. The 211 series is currently operated by JR East and JR Central; the last (and only) 211 series set operated by JR West, a 3-car set used on Super Saloon Yumeji services, was retired in 2010.
The 211 series sets are slated to be withdrawn from regular service in March 2025.
==Design==
The 211 series' body style is very similar to the 213 series; the main difference between the 211 and 213 series cars is that the 211 series has three pairs of doors per side as opposed to two.
==Specifications==
Construction is of stainless steel. Each car is 20 meters long. Traction motors are resistor controlled, which was somewhat non-standard for the time due to the advent of the variable frequency drive.
