History

Introduced in 2006, the 3000 series was the first stainless steel bodied design introduced by Nishitetsu.[1]

A further two two-car sets (3119 and 3120) were delivered in January 2016.[3]

gollark: It's not a gradient, it's some nice procedural vaguely fractal thing.
gollark: Or, well, it's true but unrelated.
gollark: What? That makes no sense.
gollark: The algorithms don't *entirely* match the Haskell version, but they're very close, and it produces mostly the same output apart from this weirdness.
gollark: It's not really a Rust problem as much as a my-code-implemented-in-Rust problem, but basically the fractal generator program randomly introduces blotches of various sizes of really different colors to the rest, which the Haskell thing it is based on does not do, and I have no idea why.
