Meitetsu 5200 series

The Meitetsu 5200 series was a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) from 1957 to August 1987.
==History==
The 5200 series sets were an improvement of the 5000 series sets introduced in 1955. A total of 30 cars were produced, all by Nippon Sharyo. Retirements commenced in 1987 in preparation for the introduction of various air-conditioned commuter cars; the last 5200 series set was retired in August 1987. All six 5200 series sets were then transferred to the Toyohashi Railroad, reclassified as the 1900 series sets. Equipment from scrapped 5200 series cars would later be used in the construction of the 5300 series sets.
==Design==
The 5200 series cars used a flat front end with three top mounted headlights.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars was of steel. The sets used resistor-controlled traction systems.
