EndeRails Class C13

The EndeRails Class C13 is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type built by the Taviére Factory of EndeRails in the Shafterlands between 1972 and 1987 for suburban and urban usage. EndeRails provides both the body and the chassis of the trains.

Design
The Class C13 was built in 14 batches, with each batch having a different design from the previous. The length of sets ranged from 3 cars to 8 cars.

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.

Operations
The Class C13 is primarily used in the Shafterlands. As of October 2021, only car numbers 13331-13598 (sets 33-59) are still in regular urban service. All other cars that are still in service have since been renumbered.

4-car Class C13 sets were used on the Emmaru Railways Tokaido Line between June 1986 and May 2020, until the line was converted to overhead catenary operation.

Refurbishment and Conversion
Cars 13004 to 13598 were refurbished by Leningrad Car Company between 1991 and 2005 in Putingrad, The Shafterlands. The refurbishment included the installation of an air-conditioning system, replacing the seats, and reworking of electrical systems. The original resistor control motors were replaced by GTO-VVVF and IGBT-VVVF systems.

Cars 14001 to 14096 were converted to fit Class C16 and C19 specifications in 1999 and renumbered 16001 to 16035, and 19036 to 19096. They were then used on the Tokidawa Metro until 2019.

Cars 13209 to 13690 (13xx9 and 13xx0 only) had their bodywork replaced to fit Class D51, D61, and D72 specifications. These cars were renumbered in the range D43001 to D43096 and run as driving trailers with the D51, D61 and D72 stock.

Retirement
Cars 13001-13006 (sets 001 and 004) were preserved and placed in the Tokidawa Railway Museum in 2012. Cars 13001 to 13003 was never refurbished as they were prototype sets.

Car 13608 were preserved and placed in the Limaru Transport Museum.

All other cars were sold back to EndeRails to be converted into newer models.
