History
From 18 March 1983, all Iida Line services were made no-smoking.
From 3 March 2001, Iida Line services were switched to wanman driver-only operation.
The fleet was replaced by 213-5000 and 313-3000 series EMUs on the Iida Line, with the last train running on 31 March 2012.
Resale
Following withdrawal, six 2-car 119 series sets were sold to the third sector railway operator Echizen Railway in Fukui Prefecture, where they were converted to become Echizen Railway 7000 series EMUs, entering service from February 2013.
