The **419 series** (419系, *419-kei*) was an [electric multiple unit](/source/Electric_multiple_unit) (EMU) train type introduced in 1985 by [Japanese National Railways](/source/Japanese_National_Railways) (JNR), and later operated by [West Japan Railway Company](/source/West_Japan_Railway_Company) (JR-West) on local services along the Japan Sea coast of Japan until March 2011. They were converted from former [583 series](/source/583_series) sleeping car EMUs in the 1980s.[1]

## History

419 series in original JNR livery in the late 1980s

The 419 series sets were converted from surplus former 583 series sleeping car EMUs and entered service from the start of the revised timetable in March 1985.[1]

Following the introduction of new [521 series](/source/521_series) EMUs in late 2006, two sets, D10 and D13, were withdrawn in March 2007.[3] The remaining sets were finally withdrawn on 11 March 2011.[4]

KuHa 418-1 from set D01 was preserved at a locomotive scrapping facility in Takaoka starting in 2012; it was removed from display around November 2021 and subsequently scrapped.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
