Nagoya Municipal Subway 5050 series

The Nagoya Municipal Subway 5050 series is a Japanese city commuter electric multiple unit operated by the Nagoya Municipal Transport Bureau since May 1992 on the Higashiyama Line.
==History==
The 5050 series sets are the third generation of trains on the Higashiyama Line, being manufactured to replace the aging 250 and 300 series trains. From 1992 to 2000 a total of 27 sets were manufactured. They currently run in tandem with the N1000 series sets. From March 2021 the sets underwent minor refurbishment, with the old sealed beam headlights replaced with LED lamps.

The 5050 series cars use an flat design with rectangular headlights. Their basic design is based on the 2000 series sets in service on the Meijō Line.
==Specifications==
Construction of the cars is of a stainless steel. The sets use GTO drives manufactured by Mitsubishi or Hitachi; some sets were later refurbished to use Mitsubishi IGBT drives.
