Senseki-Tohoku Line services use a fleet of new HB-E210 series 2-car hybrid diesel multiple unit (DMU) trains, mostly operated as four-car formations.[1][4]
Government approval to build the new 0.3 km (0.19 mi) connecting line between the existing Tohoku Main Line and Senseki Line was granted in March 2013.[5] In July 2013, JR East announced its plans to build a fleet of new two-car HB-E210 series hybrid DMUs to be used on through services between Sendai and Ishinomaki via the new line.[6] The Senseki-Tohoku Line name for the new through services was formally announced in July 2014.[7] The official opening date of 30 May 2015 was announced by JR East in January 2015.[8] The opening of the Senseki-Tōhoku Line and the resumption of the entire Senseki Line were celebrated in the ceremony held at Nobiru Station on 30 May 2015 with Yoshihiro Murai, the Governor of Miyagi Prefecture.[2]
