Operations
The 885 series is operated on two of JR Kyushu's named trains:
- Kamome between Hakata and Nagasaki on the Kagoshima and Nagasaki lines. The Shiroi Kamome fleet entered service on 11 March 2000.
- Sonic between Hakata and Ōita using the Kagoshima and Nippō lines. The Sonic fleet entered service on 3 March 2001.
The fleet was originally divided into seven Shiroi Kamome (White Seagull) fleet sets, SM1 to SM7, with yellow lining, and four Shiroi Sonic (White Sonic) sets, SM8 to Sm11, with blue lining, but the entire fleet was later made interchangeable, with all sets repainted with blue lining by June 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
