JR Hokkaido in the northern main island of Japan started operation of Series Kiha283 Express Train "Super-Ozora"
("Blue Sky") in 1997. This is a pendulum diesel train, an improved version of Kiha 281 operated as express
"Super-Hokuto" ("Northern Stars"). It exceeds its predecessor in many respects, such as body shape, passenger car
equipment, state-of-art high-power motor and linked self-controlling pendulum trucks.
In appearance, the pilot cars are featured with a silver stainless-steel passenger part combined in one body
with the blue steel car-top in the locomotive and with the logo "FURICO 283" on the side, meaning pendulum
type series Kiha283.
Compared to the Kiha281, the Kiha283 has several big differences. The ventilators are removed from the rooftop,
making the train appear more streamlined. The windows on the body sides, which were combined in a line
on the 281, are now clearly separated from each other. The front train mark and body-side displays are
now made with LED.
