Meitetsu 1000 series/Meitetsu 1800 series

The Meitetsu 1800 series is a Japanese electric multiple unit operated by the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) since 1991. This article also covers the related 1850 series cars.
==History==
The 1800 series sets were introduced as 1991 as additional supplementary cars for 1000 series sets. A total of twelve 2-car sets were built, consisting of nine 1800 series and three 1850 series sets. These are mainly used during rush hours to increase capacity of the sets although on rare occasions they do run on their own. Set 1853 was involved in an accident in 2015 and was taken out of service; the two other 1850 series sets were also taken out of service as a precautionary measure. Both sets ultimately returned to service while 1853 was detained for inspection but ultimately scrapped, while the other two sets would see service for a few more years before being scrapped themselves. The 1800 series sets were refurbished from 2017 to 2019.
==Design==
The 1800 series sets use a flat front end similar to the 1200 series sets; unlike those sets the 1800 series sets lacked the roller-type service indicator on the front.
==Specifications==
Construction is of steel. The 1800 series trains use field chopper-controlled traction systems while the 1850 series trains used resistor-controlled traction systems as they reused equipment from scrapped 7500 series cars.
Unlike the 1000 series trains the 1800 series trains are not equipped with musical horns despite featuring the same speaker-type vent.
