Nagoya Municipal Subway 5000 series

The Nagoya Municipal Subway 5000 series is a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Nagoya Municipal Transport Bureau from July 1980 to August 2015 on the Higashiyama Line.
==History==
The 5000 series sets are the second generation of trains on the Higashiyama Line, being manufactured to replace the aging 250 and 300 series trains. From 1980 to 1990 a total of 23 sets were manufactured. The sets were retired early due to their inability to install barrier-free measures, equipment for one-man operation and their incompatibility with the to-be-installed platform screen doors, with the last set, 5114, retired on 28 August 2015. 
After their retirement on the Nagoya Municipal Subway, six sets were transferred to the Buenos Aires Underground and modified with pantographs. A full set, 5114, is preserved at the Fujigaoka Depot in operational condition; it is used on occasion for special events.
==Design==
The 5000 series cars use an flat design with circular headlights in vertical rectangular casings.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars is of an aluminum alloy. The sets use armature chopper control systems which produce a buzzing noise.
