255 series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 255 Series, or more popularly known as Bōsō View Express, is a DC electric multiple unit operated by JR East. It was introduced into commercial service on July 2 1993, and was specifically designed to serve on Limited Express and scenic sightseeing services. It is the first Limited Express rolling stock to feature VVVF Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor traction control system, based on the results of trials with the prototype 209 series commuter EMUs. The freeware train simulator BVE Trainsim title is a pun based on the name of this rolling stock. See also
