Meitetsu 5000 series (2008)

The Meitetsu 5000 series is a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) since March 2008.
==History==
The 5000 series sets were created after limited express revisions on the Nagoya Railroad, where all limited express trains apart from the 2000 series sets had to have general purpose cars. The sets were created using old equipment from 1000 series sets which were undergoing scrapping and reorganization due to these revisions. The sets entered service on 23 March 2008.
==Design==
The 5000 series cars use a contoured front end with small bottom-mounted headlights.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars is of a stainless steel. The sets use field chopper control systems taken from scrapped 1000 series cars; these were the first trains on the Meitetsu network reusing equipment from old trains since 1993.
