what is it?
The Shin-Keisei 8800 series (新京成8800形) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Keisei Electric Railway. The type was introduced by the Shin-Keisei Electric Railway on the Shin-Keisei Line (Keisei Matsudo Line from April 2025) in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, in 1986. On 1 April 2025, all cars were transferred to Keisei following the merger of the Shin-Keisei Electric Railway into Keisei Electric Railway.
