Mukogawa Line transfer
[edit]Hanshin unveiled the first 5500 series set modified for use on the Mukogawa Line in March 2020. The set was modified from set 5513, which was split into two 2-car sets: 5513+5913 and 5514+5914. The 591x cars were fitted with two single-arm pantographs and driver's cabs. Hanshin confirmed that they would also modify set 5511 as such.[1]
The converted 5500 series sets first entered service on the Mukogawa Line on 6 June 2020, replacing the 7861 series sets that were previously used on the line.[2]
