what is it?
The Keikyu 2000 series (京急2000形) was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Keikyu on commuter services in the Tokyo area of Japan from 1982 until 2018. Originally introduced to replace the earlier 600 series sets on limited-stop Limited Express (快特, Kaitoku) services, they were rebuilt with an additional pair of doors per side and longitudinal seating from 1998 for reassignment to regular commuter services.
