Tokyu 7600 series


The Tokyu 7600 series was a commuter electric multiple unit train type operated by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation in Japan from 1 May 1986 until 10 February 2015. They were all rebuilt from 7200 series trains dating from 1967 to 1972.

Design

Cars were 18 m long, all made of stainless steel, with longitudinal seating. Two three-car sets were formed in 1986, followed by a third set in 1990.

Operations

These trains initially operated on the Mekama Line and Ōimachi Line. They were later concentrated on the Ikegami Line and used with the 7200 series. The 7600 series trains were used on the Tamagawa Line and Ikegami Line. A special farewell event for the 7600 series was held on 7 February 2015, and they were finally withdrawn on 10 February the same year.

Formations

As of 1 April 2014, two three-car sets were in service, formed as shown below, with two motored cars and one non-powered trailer car, and car 1 at the Gotanda/Tamagawa end.
