Meitetsu 5700 series/Meitetsu 5300 series

The Meitetsu 5300 series was a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) from January 1987 to December 2019.
==History==
The 5300 series sets were designed as a high-performance train for the Meitetsu network for general use with air conditioning; these were virtually the same as the earlier 5700 series cars but reused equipment from older scrapped trains. A total of 38 cars were produced, all by Nippon Sharyo. Scrapping commenced in 2009 in preparation for the standardization of all Meitetsu general rolling stock to have four doors per side; scrapping stopped for some time but resumed in 2017. The last set, 5305, was retired on 21 December 2019. No 5300 series cars have been preserved.
==Design==
The 5300 series cars used a raked front end with bottom mounted headlights.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars was of steel. The sets used resistor-controlled traction systems cannibalized from older 5000 and 5200 series trains.
