The Hokuso 7260 series (北総鉄道7260形?) was a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type owned and operated by the third-sector railway company Hokuso Railway on the Hokuso Line in Japan from March 2006 until March 2015. The single eight-car train was formed from two former Keisei 3300 series four-car EMU sets leased from Keisei Electric Railway.[1]
