415 series

The 415 series is a Japanese outer-suburban electric multiple unit operated by the Japanese National Railways and its various successor companies since 1971.
==History==
Descended from the old 401, 403, 421 and 423 series types (which are practically identical apart from designations), the 415 series was introduced in 1971 and were used to supplement the existing 401, 403, 421 and 423 series sets. Over time, the 415 series has spawned a multitude of different variants.
JR Kyushu remains the only operator of the 415 series sets as of 2023.
==Design==
The 415 series' body style is very similar to 113 and 115 series cars; however, the 415-1500 series cars have a more modern body style, resembling that of the 211 or 213 series sets.
==Specifications==
Construction is of steel. Each car is 20.5 meters long. Traction motors are resistor controlled, which was standard for the time.
