The was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) in Japan from 2003 until September 2015. The unique four-car train was converted from a former 1030/1230 series trainset which sustained accident damage in 2002.
The single four-car set, numbered 1384, was formed as follows.[1]
Designation | Mc1' | Mc2' | M1 | Mc2 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Numbering | 1384 | 1334 | 1584 | 1534 |
Passenger accommodation consisted of a mixture of transverse seating with flip-over seat backs and some longitudinal seating.[2]
The 1380 set was introduced in 2003, reformed from former 1030/1230 series six-car set 1134, which sustained damage to the limited express (1030 series) cars in a level crossing accident in 2002.[2] The limited express cars were scrapped, and a new cab was added to the former intermediate car 1384, creating a new four-car set for use on commuter services.[2] The train was also repainted from the original red and white limited express livery into the standard Meitetsu commuter train livery of all-over red.[2]
Set 1384 made its last run on 2 September 2015, before being taken out of service.[3]
