context_page_description: The Meitetsu 1200 series is an electric multiple unit type operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad in Japan since 1988. The trains consist of two limited express style 1000 series cars and four commuter style 1200 series cars.
context_section_description: The 1000 series trains were first introduced in 1988, as four-car sets formed entirely of limited express style cars. Between 1991 and 1992, six of the four-car sets (1011 to 1016) were split up and combined with four 1200 series commuter style cars to create new six-car 1000/1200 series mixed sets.
  In 1992, four more six-car sets were built, reusing electrical equipment from withdrawn 7500 series "Panorama Car" EMU cars, and classified 1030/1230 series. These sets differed from the earlier 1000/1200 series trainsets in having all cars motored. Set 1134 was converted to become a four-car 1380 series commuter set in 2002 after the limited express (1030 series) cars sustained collision damage and had to be scrapped.
  From 2015, the designation for the trains was standardized to simply "1200 series".
