The HOT7000 series (HOT7000系) is a diesel multiple unit (DMU) tilting train type operated by the third-sector operating company Chizu Express and West Japan Railway Company (JR West) on Super Hakuto limited express services between Kyoto, Tottori, and Kurayoshi in Japan since December 1994.[2]

The designation "HOT" is derived from the initials of the three prefectures along the route served: Hyogo Prefecture, Okayama Prefecture, and Tottori Prefecture.[1]

Formation

Trains are normally formed as five-car sets, sometimes lengthened to six cars.[3]

History

The first trains entered service on 3 December 1994.[1]

Smoking compartments were added to cars 1 and 5 from 1 June 2008.[4]

gollark: It's a room where they put tools for students to use.

gollark: I see.

gollark: Why is there a live camera thing? Why is it *MJPEG*?

gollark: In any case, there is kind of a difference between "oh no, my exploratory research in designing a new product did not work, now I have to do a new thing" and "I broke into some rooms in the university and now they're expelling me".
