The 209 series was once a major staple of JR East's fleet, with over 1,000 cars built. Most units, including this one are fitted with Mitsubishi Electric GTO-VVVF traction control system. About half of the entire fleet of 209 series remain in revenue service.
Two 209-1000 sets were built for through train operations on the JR Joban Line and Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. It is a small minority, considering that several more E233-2000 are in regular through train operations.
Through-train services from other railway operators operate on all Tokyo Metro lines except the two oldest ones (Ginza Line and Marunouchi Line). This allows travelers outside of the Tokyo Metropolitan area to travel directly into the city, although fare for each railway section is calculated separately. This recording features one of such rolling stock owned by these companies.
