History
editThe nameTanigawa(written as "Cốc xuyên" ) was first introduced on 15 November 1982 forlimited expressservices operating betweenUenoin Tokyo andMinakamion theJōetsu Line.[4]
From 1 October 1997, the name (written as "たにがわ" ) was used for the all-stations services between Tokyo andEchigo-Yuzawaon theJōetsu Shinkansen,replacing the previousTokiall-stations services. During the winter skiing season, trains terminate and start at the seasonalGala-Yuzawa Station.[1]
E2 series10-car sets were introduced on three returnTanigawaservices daily from 26 January 2013, operating at a maximum speed of 240 km/h (150 mph).[2][5]
E2 series sets were removed fromTanigawaservices (as well as the fasterTokiservices on the Joetsu Shinkansen) on the 18 March 2023 timetable revision as the line underwent an operating speed increase from 240 to 275 km/h (149 to 171 mph).[3]
