Rolling Stock
As of March 31, 2010, Hankyu has 1,319 cars for passenger service. Standard cars have three doors per side and bench seating facing the center of the train (exceptions are noted below). The Kobe Line and Takarazuka Line use almost the same types of fleet, instead, by historical reason the Kyoto Line is served by another types of rolling stock. Some of former cars of Hankyu, such as 2000 series and 3100 series, have been transferred to and are now used by Nose Electric Railway.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“It is only when we are very happy that we can bear to gaze merrily upon the vast and limitless expanse of water, rolling on and on with such persistent, irritating monotony, to the accompaniment of our thoughts, whether grave or gay. When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys.”
—Emmuska, Baroness Orczy (1865–1947)
“And anyone is free to condemn me to death
If he leaves it to nature to carry out the sentence.
I shall will to the common stock of air my breath
And pay a death tax of fairly polite repentance.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
