The Meitetsu 1800 series (名鉄1800系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) type operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) in Japan since 1991.[1]
Variants
[edit]The type consists of nine two-car 1800 series sets introduced in 1991, and three two-car 1850 series sets introduced in 1992, built using the underframes and electrical equipment from withdrawn 7500 series "Panorama Car" EMUs.[1]
Operations
[edit]
The 1800 series was introduced in 1991 as two-car commuter-style sets to be coupled to six-car 1000/1200 series sets on limited express services during the busy peak hours.[1] Sets are also used on their own or in pairs on other services.[1]
Formations
[edit]As of 1 April 2016[update], the fleet consists of nine two-car 1800 series sets (1801 to 1809) and two two-car 1850 series sets (1851 to 1852), formed as follows.[2]
