Eidan 1900 series

:Not to be confused with the Tokyo Metro 2000 series.
The Eidan 1900 series was a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (Eidan) from 1958 to February 1987.
==History==
The 1900 series was a completely new design that was conceived in 1958 as a new train that could be used as the standard train on the TRTA Ginza Line. Two cars were produced by Teikoku Sharyō and served as the prototype for the 2000 series trains.
As the 1900 series sets' age began to show, they were slowly replaced by 01 series sets starting in 1983; the two cars were replaced by an 01 series set in February 1987 and scrapped. No cars survive today.
==Design==
The 1900 series sets' design is standard for many sets of the time.
==Specifications==
Construction is of stainless steel. Cars are 16 meters long, 2.58 meters wide and 3.495 meters high. All sets used resistor control, which was standard for the time. The cars were the first trains on the TRTA to use the Cardan drive shaft, and were the last cars to be built with driving cabs that could be used as intermediate cars on the TRTA.
