In 1974, the New Blue Train Series 24-25 was born, featuring a two-tier "B-sleeper" for improved comfort and labor savings. It was characterized by its blue car body and stainless steel decorative stripe.
In 1976, the "A-sleeper" ORONE 25 with a one-person private compartment and the "B-sleeper" 100 with an upper bed became the fixed layout, and 100s with different window sizes on the sleeper and aisle sides were introduced. The OSHI 24-100 was converted from Series 14 with an added white stripe.
