It's quite sad to see those nice cars rusting. I really found them beautiful when they were running

 

 

 

before becoming a rusty noisy trainset with a squeaky pulley noise.

It was a nice looking train. Always sad to see something at the end of its days like that. Wonder if it was a primer issue or just poor maintenance.

According to the Japanese Wikipedia article, both formations have been stored since 2013, so yeah 9 years of open air storage in the Japanese climate, without any form of body maintenance will do that to a train, especially if said train is built out of ordinary steel.
