Class C307

The EndeRails Class C307 is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type built by Limaru Electric Engineering Corporation Limited from 2021 for suburban and urban usage.

Overview
The Class C307 was built to replace ageing and nonstandard trains in Limaru and the Shafterlands. Due to increasing urbanisation of the Greater Fresbury area, once-rural areas that use D class trains (trains with odd loading gauges or odd door formats) now need to have a standardised door format, which means repositioning doors and/or buying new trains. However, the D class trains that the C307 replaced were all too short for the standardised door format, which means buying new trains was the only real option. Consolidating demands for new trains in Limaru, an order for 8 batches of new trains was placed with Limaru Electric Engineering Corporation Limited after an auction for the contract.

Design
Every subclass of the Class C307 is identical, with differences only in the livery, seating arrangements, and the number of cars, ranging from 3 to 9 cars.

All trains have three 62-inch-wide doors per side per car and single arm pantographs, and were built between 2021 and 2022. The prototype set, 307102-307201-307101-307202, is rolled out with the rest of subclass C307/1.

Seats in (brackets) denote transverse seats on both sides of the train. Seats in [square brackets] denote transverse seats on one side of the train. Seats in {curly brackets} denote retractable seats that are pulled into the ceiling during peak hours to allow for more doors to open.

All trains come with separate accelerate and brake handles.

Operation
Since this class of train is built in Limaru, most sets operate within Limaru. However, some sets have been exported to the greater Fresbury region to replace ageing out-of-gauge trains. Unlike most trains used in the Shafterlands, the C307 is built using completely new components sourced locally in Limaru.
