History

The 167 series trains were developed from the earlier 165 series express-type EMU, and were introduced from 1965 for use on school excursion services.[1] They were originally painted in the JNR excursion train livery of yellow No. 5 and red No. 3.[2]

Following the privatization of JNR in 1987, JR East received 35 167 series vehicles, allocated to Tamachi Depot in Tokyo, and JR-West received 16 vehicles, allocated to Miyahara Depot.[1] The JR West fleet was withdrawn by 2001, and the JR East fleet was withdrawn by 2003.[1][2]

No 167 series vehicles have been preserved.[3]

gollark: As I said, the RX 570 is a pretty good budget GPU as long as you have a spare PCIe power connector.
gollark: That doesn't matter for GPU upgrades though.
gollark: It's LGA1151 (v1), given the CPU.
gollark: The best CPU you could get on that board is probably then the i7-7700K, which is at least two generations outdated at this point so probably horribly expensive.
