The Keikyu 600 series (京急600形) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Keikyu on commuter services in the Tokyo area of Japan. First introduced in 1994, a total of eight 8-car sets and six 4-car sets were built by Tokyu Car Corporation and Kawasaki Heavy Industries to replace the ageing 1000 series sets on limited express services.[1]
