Hitachi (Australian train)
For other trains known as Hitachis, see Hitachi (disambiguation)#Trains. Hitachi electric multiple unit trains operated on the suburban railway network of Melbourne, Australia between 1972 and 2014. Electrical equipment was supplied by Commonwealth Engineering to designs by Hitachi of Japan, leading to their official name today, though no actual Hitachi-supplied components were used in their construction. Hitachi trains have been also known as Martin & King or Stainless Steel trains officially. They were colloquially referred to as ghosties by many Victorian youth, due to their ageing appearance and scarcity when in use. They were the last suburban trains in Melbourne with no air conditioning, and with windows that could be opened.
