History
A total of 49 vehicles were built between 1954 and 1956, originally classified as KiHa 10000 (キハ10000形).[1] Four prototypes entered service on the Kihara Line (present day Isumi Railway Isumi Line) in 1954.[2] In 1957, the KiHa 10000 were reclassified as KiHa 01 and 02, the KiHa 10200 were reclassified as KiHa 03.[1]
The last unit, KiHa 02 10, was withdrawn in 1969.[2]
