The 485 series appeared in 1968 as a limited express train compatible with three power sources: DC and AC 50/60Hz, and was active in electrified sections nationwide.
The 'Kitakinki' is a limited express train that connects Shin-Osaka and Kinosaki, and was introduced when the Fukuchiyama Line between Takarazuka and Fukuchiyama, and the Sanin Main Line between Fukuchiyama and Kinosaki were electrified with the timetable change in November 1986.
The 485 series collected from various places was used, and it was characterized by a variety of modified cars and short formations of 4 or 6 cars.
From around 1990, the 485 series of the 'Kitakinki' was modified to the 183 series 800 series by removing the AC equipment.
The Kiha 65 Edel Tango is a joyful train that appeared in 1988.
The train of the same name, 'Edel Tango', started operation on July 16, 1988 as a special express train that ran between Shin-Osaka and Amanohashidate, partially entering the Kitakinki Tango Railway Miyafuku Line (currently the Kyoto Tango Railway Miyafuku Line).
Between Shin-Osaka and Fukuchiyama, it was coupled with the 485 series 'Kitakinki' express train, and both the up and down trains were unpowered and were coupled to the rear of the 485 series train, being towed by it.
The coupling of 'Kitakinki' and 'Edel Tango' could be seen until 1996, when 'Tango Discovery' appeared and began coupling with 'Kitakinki', and 'Edel Tango' was discontinued.
