Kintetsu 16600 series

The Kintetsu 16600 series "Ace" (近鉄16600系「Ace」) is a limited express electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Kintetsu Railway in Japan since 19 June 2010.

Initially, two 2-car sets were introduced, at a cost of approximately 800 million yen. They are operated on the Minami Osaka and Yoshino Lines, replacing the earlier 16000 series trains.

The design is based on the Kintetsu 22600 series trains used on the standard gauge Osaka and Nara Lines since 2009.
