The {{nihongo|321 series|321系|321-kei}} is a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR-West) in the Kansai Region of Japan.
Overview
The 321 series was developed from the earlier 207 series to replace the ageing 201 series and 205 series trains on the Tōkaidō Main Line.{{Cite web|date=8 July 2005|title=321系通勤形直流電車の新製投入|trans-title=Introducing a new 321 series commuter DC train|url=http://www.westjr.co.jp/news/newslist/article/050708a.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050830012749/http://www.westjr.co.jp/news/newslist/article/050708a.html|archive-date=30 August 2005|access-date=8 December 2021|website=westjr.co.jp|language=ja}} One 321 series set also replaced the 207 series (set Z16) withdrawn due to collision damage sustained in the Amagasaki derailment of 25 April 2005.
