The Nagano Electric Railway 2000 series (長野電鉄2000系) was a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Nagano Electric Railway in Japan from March 1957 until March 2012.

The Mc1 and Mc2 cars were each fitted with one lozenge-type pantograph.[2]
Exterior
The first three sets (A to C) delivered trains were finished in a deep maroon livery with a thin waistline stripe and end "whiskers". Set D was delivered in a two-tone livery of maroon and cream. All sets were subsequently repainted into the same two-tone livery, and this was replaced by a revised livery with crimson window band when the sets were modified with air-conditioning from 1989 to 1990. In 2007, set A was returned to its original deep maroon livery, and set D was repainted into its original crimson and cream "apple" livery.[1]
