what is it?
The KiHa E130 series (キハE130系) is a class of diesel multiple unit (DMU) trains operated since January 2007 by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in Japan. The "KiHa" designation derives from the classification system used by Japanese National Railways (JNR). "Ki" indicates a diesel-powered vehicle, while "Ha" indicates an ordinary passenger car, as opposed to a green car.
