The Semboku 3000 series (泉北3000系, Senboku 3000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Semboku Rapid Railway since 1975.

Design

[edit]

The 3000 series trains have stainless steel bodies. It was also the first train type operated by Semboku Rapid Railway to feature air-conditioning.[3] The first three sets built in 1975 initially did not have air-conditioning units on the roofs but were subsequently retrofitted with air-conditioning units a year later.[4]

History

[edit]

The first three six-car sets entered service on 3 April 1975 to augment the fleet of 100 series trains on the Semboku Rapid Railway Line.[4] By 1990, a total of 60 vehicles were built.[5]

From 1999 to 2000, three six-car sets (3511, 3513 and 3517) were shortened to four cars each. As a result, three new two-car sets (3551–3555) were formed from the extracted vehicles.[6][7]

Withdrawals of the 3000 series commenced in 2006, starting with four cars of six-car set 3501.[8] The remaining two intermediate cars were inserted into four-car set 3507 until it was also retired in 2007.[9] The last two six-car first batch sets (3503 and 3505) were withdrawn from service the following year due to the introduction of the 7020 series.[10]

With the reduction in the number of 10-car trains on the Semboku Rapid Railway Line from the start of the revised timetable on 23 November 2012,[11] three four-car sets (3513–3517) and one two-car set (3555) were transferred to Nankai Electric Railway by 2013.[12][13]

On 31 July 2024, sets 3519 and 3523 returned to service in their original style which did not include the operator nameplate and blue stripes on the sides.[5][1]

Replacement

[edit]

With the introduction of the 9300 series in August 2023, the remainder of the 3000 series fleet is scheduled to be progressively replaced by the new train type.[14] As of July 2024, only sets 3519 and 3523 remain in service.[1]
