“Bandai” is the name of the express train that connected Ueno to Aizu Wakamatsu and other places before the Tohoku Shinkansen opened, and is derived from the name of the mountain Aizu Bandai. It was abolished in 1984, after the Shinkansen line started operating, although it was much missed. The characters “Oku Passenger” displayed in the lower right corner indicate that the Oku Passenger Car Operation Center has jurisdiction. The train’s iron nickname plate is in very good condition.
