Overview

This resource pack adds the JR 209-500 series train to Minecraft using the Minecraft Transit Railway modification. These trains were produced at the JR East Niitsu plant between 1998 and 2000.

A total of 17 ten-car trains were created for the Chuo-Sobu Line. They served as a temporary solution while awaiting delivery of new E231 series trains, as the older 101 and 103 series models frequently broke down, requiring urgent replacement.

The 209-500 series is based on the 209 series design, but the body shell was borrowed from the then-developing E231 series. Despite this, the 17 trains of the 209-500 series did not remain on the Chuo-Sobu Line for long. Within a few months or years, they were transferred to other routes, including the Keihin-Tohoku and Keiyo lines, where they replaced outdated rolling stock.

Today, 11 eight-car trains of the 209-500 series operate on the Musashino Line, one ten-car train (KeYo 34 formation) works on the Keiyo Line, filling the gap after the E331 series was scrapped. Another 5 trains were converted to the 209-3500 series for the Hachiko and Kawagoe lines.

The resource pack was created by Navi_LX9702 in 2024.
