JR EF81 electric locomotive (Twilight Express color)
The Twilight Express is a sleeper express train that first appeared in 1989.
The 24 Series 25 passenger cars used on this train are different from the traditional blue trains, with a green base and yellow stripes.
When the train first started, it was operated with nine passenger cars, including the Kani 24, but in 1990, one more car was added, making it a 10-car train.
When the train first started, there were only two trains, but in 1991 a third train was added.
In the 2000s, renovation work was done on the passenger cars, with silver stripes added above and below the yellow stripes on the body and interior changes, but the Twilight Express ended its operation between Osaka and Sapporo in March 2015.
