DeHa 301 started life as MoHa 105, an electric multiple unit car built in August 1930 by Niigata Tekkō (新潟鐵工所) (now Niigata Transys) for the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway (鶴見臨港鉄道) (now the JR Tsurumi Line). MoHa 105 was renumbered MoHa 115 in May 1941 following the absorption of the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway into the Japan National Railways (JNR) network. It was removed from service as of 10 September 1944 and placed into storage at Ōi Works, and officially withdrawn on 28 March 1949.
The car was subsequently purchased by the Choshi Electric Railway, and entered service on the line from 10 August 1951.[1]
The trolley pole current collector added on transfer to the Choshi Electric Railway was later replaced by a bow collector, and this was replaced by a PS13 lozenge-type pantograph from April 1990.[1]
The original Kisha BW bogies were replaced in 1984 by Nippon Sharyo D-16 bogies from former Iyo Railway rolling stock.[1]
In later years, it was used as an inspection and works train for overhead wire maintenance, with a platform added to the roof.[1]
The car was withdrawn in fiscal 2008 and stored at Tokawa Station before being cut up in October 2009.[1][2]
