what is it?
The Kintetsu 16400 series "Ace" (近鉄16400系「Ace」) is a limited express electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Kintetsu Railway in Japan since 1996. Two 2-car sets were introduced in 1996, and both are operated on the Minami Osaka and Yoshino Lines, replacing the earlier 16000 series trains. Only four cars were built as focus had shifted to the newer 16600 series sets.
