Tokyu 2000 series

The Tokyu 2000 series was a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Tokyu Corporation from March 1992 to October 2018 on the Tokyu Den-en-Toshi Line.
==History==
The 2000 series sets were designed to increase the transportation capacities on the Den-en-Toshi Line. 30 cars were built, split into three 10-car sets, from 1992 to 1993. Two sets were initially introduced on 29 March 1992, with a third manufactured in 1993. Around the time when these cars were manufactured Tokyu policy dictated that railcars should be able to last for between 40 to 50 years; this was changed with the introduction of the 3000 series sets on the Meguro Line in 1999. From 2018 the sets were taken out of service due to the introduction of the 2020 series sets; the last set, 2001, was taken out of service on 3 October 2018. All sets would subsequently be relocated to the Ōimachi Line and reformed into 5-car sets while the remaining 5 cars from each set were scrapped.
==Design==
The 2000 series cars used a contemporary design featuring a flat front and a gangwayed door. The sets were able to through run to the Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line but could not through run to the Tobu Skytree Line; to note this a "K" sticker was affixed to the front windshield.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars was of stainless steel. The sets were based on the 9000 series cars operated by the same railroad and share some mechanicals. The sets used later-spec Hitachi GTO variable frequency drive traction systems which produce a wailing sound.
