Hanshin 5001 Series (5009 Train) 4-Car Set
The Hanshin 5001 Series is a standard-use train manufactured between 1977 and 1981. Because it operates between short stations, it boasts high acceleration and deceleration capabilities, earning it the nickname "Jet Car." Its acceleration is among the highest on Japanese railways.
Its two-tone "cream" and "ultramarine blue" color scheme led to it being nicknamed the "blue-bodied car." With the introduction of successor trains, its number decreased, and it was sadly retired in March 2025.
