Operations edit

The 6000 series is used mainly on Nankai Koya Line commuter services.

Formations edit

As of June 2020, the fleet consists of 11 two-car sets and seven four-car sets. Aside from six two-car sets, the "Mc1" cars are at the Osaka-Namba end. The sets are formed as follows.

2-car sets edit

The "MoHa 6001" car faces Osaka-Namba on five sets. On the remaining six sets, the car faces Izumi-Chuo.

Interior edit

All cars feature longitudinal seating throughout. Since these are older cars, they lack many features found in modern sets such as LCD screens and light-up maps.

History edit

The first four batches arrived in seven three-car sets. The current 2-car and 4-car formations were formed in 1971.[1]

The first set to be scrapped was four-car set 6035F on October 17, 2019. Since then, three more four-car sets as well as three two-car sets have been scrapped for a total of 22 cars being scrapped. It is generally rare for any rail car to last beyond 50 years in service.[2]

Two more 2-car sets were retired in March 2022: 6022 and 6034.[3]

Resale edit

Two-car set 6905 was transferred to the Ōigawa Railway in 2019.
