Korail Class 1000 - Technical Details

Technical Details

South Korea had no experience of manufacturing and operating EMUs, so Japan built the first Class 1000 trains in 1974. As a result, the first Class 1000 trains were based on Japanese trains, but then later on, Korean companies changed the design of these trains, both mechanically and aestetically. Electric parts were based on JNR 415 series, while car body was based on JNR 103 series.

    A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.
    Heywood Broun (1888–1939)

    and sold him and sold him and sold him.
    My death the same.
