Prior to 2005, the JNR/JR Suburban Train Series 117 was used for the rapid trains, but those trains were withdrawn from the Fukuchiyama Line because they weren't equipped with an ATS-P system and were then moved to the Shimonoseki Region, the Sagano Line and the Kosei Line.
2005年までは快速列車に国鉄117系電車電車も使われていたが、ATS-Pが搭載されていないために当線から撤退し、下関地区や嵯峨野線、湖西線へ転出した。
