The EN 300 are a series of EMUs built in 1977 for the Italian railway company SEPSA, used on the commuter railways Circumflegrea and Cumana.

Description

Each trainset is composed by 2 cars: a railcar (EN 300) and a control car (RN 300).

The numbers are EN 301–307 for the railcars and RN 301–307 for the control cars.

History

The EN 300 were ordered in 1976 to renew the train sets of the SEPSA. They were delivered in 1977.
