At that time, since the train lacked the rollsign that indicated 'Rapid,' it carried the rollsign 'Special,' and for the front face two plates, one reading 'Uji Kaisoku' and the other reading '～Special,' were prepared for attachment.
当時の車両には「快速」表示幕が無く、「臨時」表示幕を提示し、前面に「宇治快速」と「～Special」の合計2枚の表示板を用意して取り付けた。
