what is it?

The Odakyu 3000 series (小田急3000形, Odakyū 3000-gata) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Odakyu Electric Railway in Japan. First introduced on 10 February 2002, a total of 336 cars were built with orders divided between Nippon Sharyo, Tokyu Car Corporation, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Originally formed as six- and eight-car trainsets, additional cars have been built since 2010 to augment pre-existing sets to ten cars.
