The Hanshin 5550 series (阪神電鉄5550系, Hanshin Dentetsu 5550-kei) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train operated by the private railway operator Hanshin Electric Railway in Japan since 2010.[1]
Design

Operations
[edit]Together with the 5500 series trains, the 5550 series set is primarily used on Hanshin Main Line services.[1]
Formation
