Kintetsu 1400 series

The Kintetsu 1400 series (近鉄1400系) 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 1981, 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, except for the 6600 series which run on gauge on the Minami Osaka Line.
