It was supposed to be a Last Run event in June this year to coincide with a Shizuoka destination campaign but the Coronavirus has pretty much put a stop into that, although it isn't that surprisng the set itself only lasted 4 years since the IR01 set (K206 / OM301 beforehand) is already 30 years old and having it run along Izu probably accelerated corrosion related aging.

I wonder if they'll build more of them but in longer configurations later on as the 209-2000 and 2100 Series (which were converted from the 209-0 Series that served on the Keihin-Tohoku Line) are around 25 years old
