The {{Nihongo|'''Nankai 3000 series'''|南海3000系}} is an [[electric multiple unit]] (EMU) train type operated by the [[private railway]] operator [[Nankai Electric Railway]] in Japan. Entering service from 2013, a total of 14 cars were transferred to Nankai Electric Railway from [[Semboku Rapid Railway (company)|Semboku Rapid Railway]] in 2012, which had previously been used on the [[Semboku Rapid Railway Line]].

== History ==
=== Background history ===
[[Semboku Rapid Railway]] first introduced the 3000 series largely based on the [[Nankai 6200 series]] in 1975. They were also the first trains in Semboku to include air conditioning. Following the introduction of the [[Semboku 7000 series|7020 series]], a handful of sets were scrapped from 2007 to 2008.<ref>{{cite journal |title=廃車車両一覧表 |journal=Private Railway Vehicle Formation Table |date=2007 |issue=2007 |page=174 |publisher=J.R.R.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title=廃車車両一覧表 |journal=Private Railway Vehicle Formation Table |date=2008 |issue=2008 |page=174 |publisher=J.R.R.}}</ref>

Following the reduction of 10-car trains on the [[Semboku Rapid Railway]] Line due to the timetable revision on 23 November 2012, a surplus of vehicles was generated.<ref name="SBRtimetable">{{cite web |title=泉北高速鉄道でダイヤ変更 |trans-title=Semboku Rapid Railway timetable changes |url=https://railf.jp/news/2012/11/23/104000.html |website=Japan Railfan Magazine Online |publisher=Koyusha Co., Ltd. |access-date=13 March 2024 |location=Japan |language=Japanese |date=23 November 2012}}</ref>

=== Transfer to Nankai Electric Railway ===
From December 2012 to 24 May 2013, 4-car set 3517 and 2-car set 3555 were sent to Chiyoda depot along the Nankai Koya Line for modifications to the operator's specifications. In addition, the cab equipment in middle cab cars 3518 and 3555 were removed, thus forming a semi-fixed 6-car train.<ref>{{cite web |title=もと泉北高速3000系が南海色で出場 |trans-title=Ex-Semboku Rapid Railway 3000 series finished in Nankai color |url=https://railf.jp/news/2013/05/26/090000.html |website=Japan Railfan Magazine Online |publisher=Koyusha Co., Ltd. |access-date=14 March 2024 |location=Japan |language=Japanese |date=26 May 2013}}</ref> 4-car sets 3513 and 3515 followed suit on 10 May 2013,<ref>{{cite web |title=泉北高速3000系が千代田工場へ |trans-title=Semboku Rapid Railway 3000 series goes to Chiyoda Depot. |url=https://railf.jp/news/2013/05/11/210000.html |website=Japan Railfan Magazine Online |publisher=Koyusha Co., Ltd. |access-date=14 March 2024 |location=Japan |language=Japanese |date=11 May 2013}}</ref> completing modification work in August and September that same year respectively, and started test running on the Nankai Main Line thereafter.<ref>{{cite web |title=もと泉北高速鉄道3000系が8両編成で試運転 |trans-title=Former Semboku Rapid Railway 3000 series undergoes a test run in an 8-car train. |url=https://railf.jp/news/2013/09/15/153500.html |website=Japan Railfan Magazine Online |publisher=Koyusha Co., Ltd. |access-date=14 March 2024 |location=Japan |language=Japanese |date=15 September 2013}}</ref> Set 3517+3555 first entered service on the [[Nankai Main Line]] on 29 September 2013.<ref>{{cite web |title=【南海】3000系営業運転開始 |trans-title=Nankai 3000 series begins commercial operation |url=https://rail.hobidas.com/rmnews/245474/ |website=Tetsudo Hobidas |access-date=14 March 2024 |location=Japan |language=Japanese |date=1 October 2013}}</ref>

== Formations ==
As of 2014, the fleet consists of 14 vehicles formed as two 4-car sets (3513 and 3515) and one semi-permanently coupled 4+2-car set (3517+3555). The Tc1 car is at the Namba end.<ref name="PR 2013">{{cite book |title=私鉄車両編成表 2014 |trans-title=Private Railway Rolling Stock Formations - 2014 |date=1 July 2014 |publisher=Kotsu Shimbunsha |location=Japan |isbn=978-4-330-48414-3 |language=Japanese}}</ref>
