MTR C-Train

"C-Train" is a colloquial name used to describe the CNR Changchun EMU, a set of city commuter electric multiple units operated by the MTR Corporation on the Kwun Tong Line of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway since December 2011.
==History==
The C-Train was designed for service on the Kwun Tong Line. A total of twenty-two sets were built by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles from 2010 to 2013 under contract C6554-07E. The sets were built in Changchun, China, making these the first sets owned and operated by the MTR Corporation to be built in China; previous rolling stock came from the United Kingdom, Japan, Spain and South Korea.
Operations began on the Kwun Tong Line on 7 December 2011 after a period of testing. The sets, numbered A351~A352 through A393~A394, are berthed at Kowloon Bay depot when not in use.
A similar series of sets is used on the South Island Line.
==Design==
The C-Trains feature a streamlined design with quadrant-shaped headlights. They feature a silver body with gray and red accents. A red LED display above the driver's side window acts as a destination indicator while the opposite window features a warm orange eight-segment display to display the train running number.
==Specifications==
Construction of the sets is of stainless steel. The sets use Mitsubishi 2-level IGBT variable frequency drives, powering Mitsubishi MB-5086-A2 three-phase AC traction motors. The cars sit on CNR Changchun CW6000 bogies.
