History
Two 2-car trains were built in 1959 with transverse seating for use on express services. New SaHa 350 intermediate cars with aluminium bodies were added in 1966.[1] The trains were replaced by 3000 series express EMUs and withdrawn by October 1992.[2]
Formation
The trains were formed of two driving motor cars and an intermediate trailer car as follows.[1]
- DeHa 300 + SaHa 350 + DeHa 300

gollark: The rough idea of the decent-for-privacy idea is apparently to have each phone have a unique ID (or one which changes periodically or something, presumably it would store all its past ones), and devices which are near each other (determined via Bluetooth signal strength apparently) for some amount of time exchange identifiers, and transmit in some way the IDs of devices of people who get inected.
