Kintetsu 22000 series/Kintetsu 16400 series

The Kintetsu 16400 series is a Japanese limited express electric multiple unit operated by the Kintetsu Railway since June 1996.
==History==
The 16600 series sets were designed as a new train to replace the older 16000 series trains. Two sets were produced in 1996, both by Kinki Sharyo; both entered service in June 1996. Eventually focus shifted to producing the 16600 series sets and as such only the two sets were produced. The sets are part of the Ace family of trains but are not officially branded as such. The sets were refurbished in 2015 and repainted in 2018.
==Design==
The 16400 series sets use a flat design with top-mounted headlight clusters. The sets feature gangwayed cab ends, allowing the sets to couple with other limited express sets. 
==Specifications==
Construction is of steel. The trains use Hitachi 3-level IGBT traction systems which produce a high-pitched whine.
