Japanese high speed train series
E2 Series Shinkansen
The E2 series (Japanese: E2系) is a Japanese high-speed Shinkansen train type introduced in 1997 by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) for use on the Tōhoku and Hokuriku Shinkansen high-speed lines in Japan. They are formed in 8- and 10-car sets. The 8-car sets were used on the Hokuriku Shinkansen, and the 10-car sets have been used on Tōhoku Shinkansen services. The 10-car sets are fitted with couplers hidden behind retracting nose doors, formerly used for coupling to E3 series sets. They operate at a maximum speed of 275 km/h (171 mph) on the Tohoku Shinkansen. A total of 502 vehicles (14 8-car "N" sets and 39 10-car "J" sets) were built between 1997 and 2010, with the first withdrawals commencing in late 2013. As of 1 April 2025, the active fleet consisted of six 10-car E2-1000 series sets, numbered J70 to J75.
