Kintetsu 1400 series set #1407 in 2018

The Kintetsu 1400 series (近鉄1400系, Kintetsu 1400-kei) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Kintetsu Railway since 1981 on many of its commuter lines in the Kansai area of Japan.

Design

First introduced in 1984, the design is based on the earlier Kintetsu 3000 series commuter train, also manufactured by Kinki Sharyo.

All trains are equipped with longitudinal seating and automatic announcements in both Japanese and English. All trainsets run on standard gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+12 in), except for the 6600 series which run on 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge on the Minami Osaka Line.

  • 1201 series: 2-car sets primarily used on the Nagoya Line equipped for wanman driver-only operation
  • 1400 series: 4-car sets primarily used on the Nagoya Line
