The Keihan 3000 series (京阪3000系, Keihan 3000-kei) was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Keihan Electric Railway in Japan from 1971 until 2013. From 2008 on, the 3000 series was designated as 8000-30 series (8000系30番台).
History
Construction began in 1971 and resumed until 1973. Internally, the trains were fitted with color TVs. With the introduction of the Keihan 8000 series from 1989, the 3000 series trains were gradually replaced. A bi-level car was added to a 3000 series set in 1995. After the introduction of the new Keihan 3000 series in 2008, the old 3000 series was redesignated as 8000-30 series. The 3000 series was withdrawn from services by Keihan in March 2013.
