Meitetsu 2200 series

The Meitetsu 2200 series is a Japanese limited express electric multiple unit operated by the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) since January 2005. This article will also describe the related 2300 series sets, initially intended for use in the 1700 series sets but later made its own classification.
==History==
The 2200 series sets were designed as the standard limited express train for Meitetsu of the 21st century, using a practical design as opposed to the Panorama Cars of old. The sets began construction in 2004 and were intermittently constructed between 2005 and 2020. Unlike most other limited express trains of the Meitetsu network, the 2200 series cars were not given a nickname, breaking with Meitetsu's tradition of giving nicknames to limited express trains. The 2200 series cars featured two cars for limited express usage with four cars for general usage, generally designated the 2300 series.
Some 2300 series cars were built for use with the 1700 series, combining two ex-1600 series cars with four 2300 series cars. When the 1700 series cars were retired, additional 2200 series cars were built to replace them, with the existing 2300 series cars added to these new cars to create new six-car sets, colloquially designated the 2330 series. The 2330 series cars are largely identical to the 2200 series cars but have full-color LED destination indicators.
==Design==
The 2200 series sets used a gangwayed cab end with headlights recessed into the body behind the cab ends. 
==Specifications==
Construction is of steel. The trains use IGBT drives manufactured by Mitsubishi.
The trains feature a musical horn which produced a modulating tone. This was the third variation of the musical horn; the horn retained the same tune but each of the notes was played using a synthesized trumpet sound. The speaker for the horn is located on the front pilot.
