The 419 series sets were converted from surplus former 583 series sleeping car EMUs and entered service from the start of the revised timetable in March 1985.[1]
Following the introduction of new 521 series EMUs in late 2006, two sets, D10 and D13, were withdrawn in March 2007.[3] The remaining sets were finally withdrawn on 11 March 2011.[4]
KuHa 418-1 from set D01 was preserved at a locomotive scrapping facility in Takaoka starting in 2012; it was removed from display around November 2021 and subsequently scrapped.
