The {{nihongo|'''489 series'''|489系|489-kei}} was a [[limited express]] [[electric multiple unit]] (EMU) train type introduced in March 1972 by [[Japanese National Railways]] (JNR) in Japan, and later operated by [[East Japan Railway Company]] (JR East) and [[West Japan Railway Company]] (JR-West) until 2012.<ref name="neko2009">{{cite book| script-title=ja: JR全車輌ハンドブック2009 |trans-title= JR Rolling Stock Handbook 2009| publisher = Neko Publishing| date = 2009| location = Japan| pages = 183–4| isbn = 978-4-7770-0836-0|title= Jēāru zensharyō handobukku: Rail Magazine 2009}}</ref>
==Operations== The 489 series trains were developed from the earlier [[485 series]] specially for use on the ''[[Hakusan (train)|Hakusan]]'' and ''[[Asama (train)|Asama]]'' [[limited express]] services operating over the steeply graded [[Usui Pass]] ([[Yokokawa Station]] - [[Karuizawa Station]] of old JNR [[Shinetsu Main Line]]). They were designed to operate in multiple with the [[JNR Class EF63]] electric banking locomotives.<ref name="neko2009"/>
