Keio Rail-Land (京王れーるランド Keiō Rēru Rando) is a railway museum located next to Tama-Dōbutsukōen Station on the Keio Dōbutsuen Line in Hino, Tokyo, Japan. It is operated by the private railway operator Keio Corporation. Originally opening in March 2000, the museum was refurbished and expanded with a new outdoor exhibition area in 2013, re-opening on 10 October to mark the 100th anniversary of Keio.
The outdoor exhibition area houses the following five former Keio EMU cars.
First appearing in 1972, the 6000 series was the first rolling stock operated by Keio with 20 m long carriages and four pairs of doors per side. DeHa 6438 was built in March 1989 by Tokyu Car, initially numbered 6420, as part of a 2-car set for use on overground services. It was modified for subway-inter-running operations in 1993, and renumbered 6438. It was withdrawn in June 2009.
First appearing in 1962 on the Keio Inokashira Line, the 3000 series was the first Keio rolling stock to use completely stainless steel body construction. KuHa 3719 was built in 1979 by Tokyo Car, and was withdrawn in March 2009.
The 5000 series was the first Japanese commuter rolling stock to feature air conditioning. KuHa 5723 was built in 1969 by Tokyu Car, and was withdrawn in December 1996.
