The 289 series (289系 289-kei?) is a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) in Japan on limited express services in the Kyoto and Osaka area since October 2015. The trains were converted from former dual-voltage (1,500 V DC and 20 kV AC) 683-2000 series EMUs formerly used on Shirasagi services and made surplus following the 14 March 2015 timetable revision.[1]
