The line uses a fleet of seven LE-Car II series diesel railcars classified "Isumi 200 series".
In December 2010, former JR West KiHa 52 diesel car KiHa 52-125, formerly used on the Ōito Line was purchased by the Isumi Railway. This was repainted into JNR standard red and cream livery before entering revenue service.
From March 2012, two new Isumi 300 series diesel cars entered service on the line. Built by Niigata Transys, these feature transverse seating and toilets.
On 11 October 2012, a former JR West KiHa 28 DMU car, KiHa 28 2346, was delivered to the line. This will be used in conjunction with the KiHa 52 125 car.
In January 2013, a JR East KiHa 30 DMU car, KiHa 30 62, previously used on the Kururi Line was delivered to the line.
In 2013, a new Isumi 350 series diesel car was delivered. Built by Niigata Transys, this car is based on the Isumi 300 series design, but has longitudinal seating and no toilet. Designed to resemble the JNR KiHa 20 series DMU, the car is finished in the standard Isumi Railway livery of yellow with green bodyside stipes.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“Lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring,
ring with the harmonies of liberty.
Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies;
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
“In the case of our main stock of well-worn predicates, I submit that the judgment of projectibility has derived from the habitual projection, rather than the habitual projection from the judgment of projectibility. The reason why only the right predicates happen so luckily to have become well entrenched is just that the well entrenched predicates have thereby become the right ones.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
