The Kintetsu 2400 series (近鉄2400系, Kintetsu 2400-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Kintetsu Railway since 1966 on many of its commuter lines in the Kansai area of Japan.
Design
First introduced in 1966, the design is based on the earlier 1480 series design, also manufactured by Kinki Sharyo. All trainsets run on standard gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) tracks.
The trainsets incorporate improvements in the 1M1T formations and derivatives.
Variants
2400 series: 2-car sets primarily used on the Osaka Line
2410 series: 2-car sets built equipped with increased air circulation
2430 series: 3-car and 4-car sets primarily used on Osaka Line semi-express services
The 2400 series was the base variant in the 2400 series family.[1] Introduced in 1966, these cars were never refurbished, although a few techinal upgrades did occur in the mid 1980s.
