RVR ER2

ER2 electric trainset is a DC electric multiple unit which was in production by the Railroad Machinery Plants of Riga from June 1962 to mid-1984. In 1974, starting with ER2-1028 electric trainset, engineer's cab became more flat. Since the mid-1960s, the ER2 has been the most widely used type of suburban train in the Soviet Union and its successor states.

Since the train is made up of sections consisting of one powered and one non-powered car, the usual total number of cars in the train is even. A train with an odd number of cars can be created by adding an additional non-powered car at the cost of degrading the driving characteristics. The following technical data apply to a standard 10-car train.

Maximum speed: 130 km/h
Power: 4000 kW
Acceleration: 0.6 (1974 version: 0.7)
Overall length: 201.81 m
Capacity: 1584 (1056 seats, 528 standing)
Gauge: 1520mm
