context_page_description: The SP1900 EMU / SP1950 EMU or IKK Train is a model of train that runs on Hong Kong's East Rail Line, West Rail Line and Tuen Ma Line. It was the second model of electric multiple unit rolling stock of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation.
  The trains were delivered in several phases. The phases have different model numbers but an identical appearance. The models numbers include: SP1900, SP1950, KRS991 and 1151. Unless specified, the name SP1900 would apply to describe all the model numbers in this article. Another model, 1141A, is similar in design to the SP1900, but was built by a different manufacturer and has a slightly different appearance. After the rail merger, the KCR logos on the SP1900 EMU were replaced with those of MTR, and a revised route map was introduced in the train interiors.
context_section_description: In 24 January 2014, the MTRC, now operating the West Rail Line on KCRC's behalf, ordered another 36 new cars (under contract number 1151) to convert the SP1900 sets on all three lines to 8-car configurations for the future East West Corridor. The newly converted SP1900 trains are also retrofitted with dynamic route map displays that replace the existing plastic maps above the doorways, and will receive larger 22-inch LCD TVs in the near future. They retain the KCR livery with blue bodies and red doors, and will operate solely on the East West Corridor. Until the opening of the East West Corridor in 2019, the converted trains continue to serve separately on the West Rail and Ma On Shan Lines, but will be withdrawn from the East Rail Line and be replaced with new Hyundai Rotem EMUs.
  A separate order was also made for 136 carriages from Changchun Railway Vehicles to form several new 8-car sets for the East West Corridor, operating alongside the SP1900 sets. Unlike the IKK trains, these new trains (under contract number 1141A) have the same livery as the SIL C-Trains and R-Trains on the North South Corridor, and are essentially facelifted versions of the SP1900 design, with major differences being the cab ends and electrical equipment. These trains are called the EWL C-Train and entered service on the Ma On Shan Line in 12 March 2017.
