JNR SeKi 3000, 6000 and 8000 coal hopper wagon

The Japanese National Railways' SeKi 3000 is an coal hopper wagon with a 30-ton load that was introduced in 1951. This is an improved version of the Seki 1000, with TR41 bogies. In 1968, the Seki 6000, a modified version of the Seki 3000, was introduced, with the maximum speed increased from 55km/h to 65km/h when loaded. It was mainly used for transporting coal in Hokkaido, but was also used for transporting limestone on the Mine Line, the Hakubi Line, and in the Kyushu area.
The Seki 8000 is a coal hopper wagon that was introduced in 1982 as a conversion from the Ku 5000 car carrier wagon. It was used to transport coal in Hokkaido and limestone on the Mine Line.

Updated in December 2021 to add a new Seki 3000. For the Seki 6000, the Hakubi Line version has been added, and the Mine Line version has been divided between the JNR era and JR, with the Hakubi and Mine lines only carrying stones.

For Hokkaido, the Mine Line, and the Hakubi Line are included. Since the Mine and Hakubi lines were specialized in limestone transportation, these coal wagons could only carry stones.
