The 413 series (413系) is a Japanese dual-voltage (1,500 V DC and 20 kV AC 60 Hz) electric multiple unit (EMU) train type first introduced by Japanese National Railways (JNR) in March 1986 and later operated on local services on the Hokuriku Main Line by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).[1] The units were built by re-using the underframes, bogies and electrical equipment from former 471 series and 473 series express-type EMUs with new suburban type bodies based on the design of the 417 series EMUs introduced in 1978.[1]
As of 1 October 2014, all 31 of the 413 series cars built are in service, based at Kanazawa Depot.[2]
Variants
- 413-0 series: 29 cars converted from former 471 series cars
- 413-100 series: two cars (KuMoHa 413-101 and MoHa 412-101) converted from former 473 series cars
Formations
The fleet consists of 11 three-car sets, numbered B01 to B11, consisting of two motored ("Mc" and "M") cars and a non-powered driving trailer ("Tc") car, with the Tc car at the Kanazawa end. All sets are based at Kanazawa depot.[2]

Livery
Initially painted in maroon with a white stripe, the sets later received the JR West "New Hokuriku" livery of "oyster white" with "light cobalt blue" lining.[2] From 2012, some sets received the overall blue (color code "DIC N-897") livery applied to JR West Kanazawa area local trainsets.[2] In April 2015, set B04 received the all-over crimson Nanao Line livery.[3]

History
The eleven 3-car sets were built between 1985 and 1989.[2]
From 14 March 2015, five 413 series sets (B01 to B03, B07, and B10) were transferred from JR West ownership to the third-sector railway operating company Ainokaze Toyama Railway, which took over control of the section of the former Hokuriku Main Line within Toyama Prefecture when it was separated from the JR West network, coinciding with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa.[4]
Future developments
A 413 series set operated by the Ainokaze Toyama Railway is to be modified for use as a special-event train in the first half of fiscal 2016, with new seat covers and a new external livery.[5] From the first half of fiscal 2018, an Ainokaze Toyama Railway 413 series set will be rebuilt as a tourist train, returning to service on the line in the second half of fiscal 2018.[5]
