Shikisai Train
A 4-car 201 series set (W1) was modified in 2001 by JR East to become the special Shikisai (四季彩?) tourist train, entering service on the Ōme Line from 4 August 2001. This train featured panorama windows and transverse seating bays on one side of the train only. It was repainted into a new livery in June 2005. The train was withdrawn from regular service at the end of June 2009, with a number of special finale runs scheduled for July.
