what is it?

The Tōyō Rapid 1000 series (東葉高速鉄道1000形) was an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type that formerly operated on the Tōyō Rapid Railway Line, an extension of the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line in Tokyo, Japan. A total of twelve ten-car sets were converted in 1995 from former TRTA 5000 series sets. They were retired from service in December 2006, replaced by the Tōyō Rapid 2000 series.
