The E1 Series Shinkansen trainsets, introduced in 1994, were the first double-deck trains built for Japan's Shinkansen
dedicated high-speed rail lines. They are generally, along with their fellow double-deck class the E4 Series Shinkansen,
known by the marketing name "MAX" (Multi-Amenity eXpress).
They were introduced specifically to relieve overcrowding on services used by commuters on the Tohoku Shinkansen and
Joetsu Shinkansen. Because of increasing incompatibility with stations on the Tohoku line, which was being used for
more through services to northern Japan, all six twelve-car trainsets were transferred to the Joetsu line as of 1999,
and eight-car E4 Series Shinkansen trainsets replaced the E1 Series on the Tohoku line.
