Rolling Stock
Kamaishi Line services are operated using KiHa 110 series diesel trains.
From winter 2013, an SL Galaxy Express (SL銀河鉄道, SL Ginga Tetsudō?) is scheduled to be run on the line at weekends using the restored JNR Class C58 steam locomotive C58 239 together with a train of four modified former KiHa 141 series diesel cars purchased from JR Hokkaido (themselves rebuilt from earlier 50 series passenger coaches and made surplus to requirements following the electrification of the Sasshō Line). The diesel cars will provide additional power to cope with the line's gradients. The coach design work will be overseen by industrial designer Ken Okuyama.

“I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.”
