The Keihan 7000 series (京阪7000系, Keihan 7000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Keihan Electric Railway in Kyoto, Japan, since 1989.[1]
Overview
The 7000 series was introduced in 1989 with two six-car sets and one four-car set. The remaining nine cars would be built between 1991 and 1993.[2]
In 1993, three test 6000 series vehicles would be renumbered and incorporated into a fourth seven-car set.[2]
These trains would be the basis for the 7000 series introduced in 1992.[3]
Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout.
Formations
The seven-car trains are formed as follows, with two or three motored ("M") cars and four or five non-powered trailer ("T") cars.[4]
