TheChangchun EMU orCNR Changchun EMU is anelectric multiple unit train type of theMass Transit Railway (MTR) system in Hong Kong. Designed and manufactured byChangchun Railway Vehicles, a member ofCNR group (now merged withCSR to formCRRC), they were the first MTR heavy-rail stock to be manufactured inMainland China, while past orders came from England, Japan, Europe or South Korea.
The trains come in two versions: theC-Train, a manned eight-car train which is used mainly on theKwun Tong line;[3] and theS-Train, adriverless three-car variant which operates on theSouth Island line since its opening in December 2016.Similar trains had been ordered for theTuen Ma line, also known asTML C-Train, which entered service on theMa On Shan line on 12 March 2017; however, these trains bear a resemblance to the olderSP1900 EMUs.
Designed in 18 months, the first C-Train rolled off the production lines at CNR's plant on 6 December 2010.[4] It was transported to Hong Kong on 28 April 2011.[5] By 16 October, 4 sets had arrived and were undergoing testing on the Kwun Tong line, where were first expected enter service sometime in November of the same year.[6][7][8][9][10]
On 22 July 2011, MTR ordered 12 eight-car C-trains to increase the urban line fleet for theWest Island line extension and 10 three-car S-Trains for the first phase of the South Island line.[1]
The first C-Train entered service on the Kwun Tong line on Wednesday, 7 December 2011 in the evening.[11] The last of the 8-car trains was handed over on 5 September 2013, and entered service on the Kwun Tong line shortly after.[12][13]
The S-Trains began operating on 28 December 2016, the day theSouth Island line commenced service.

The trains used on theKwun Tong line are configured as eight-car sets. All intermediate cars (B cars and C cars) have motors, while the control cars (A cars) have no motors. The C cars also come with pantographs; there are three of these cars per train set. Unlike theK-Train andCAF-Train, the C-Train reverts to the use of double-leafsliding doors, first used on theM-Train. These trains also feature new 22-inch (559 mm) LCD TVs, like their counterparts on former KCR lines, and as a result are equipped withMTR In-Train TV, offeringinfotainment such as news and announcements. This will become standard for all future rolling stock ordered by the MTR.

In this configuration for theSouth Island line (similar to that ofAlstom Metropolis), the pantograph is situated on the end cars (A car), while all three cars will have a motor each (no trailer cars). Like theconverted M-Trains used on theDisneyland Resort line, these trains arefully automated, but unlike the DRL trains, the driver's cab has been replaced by extra passenger space, with an unobstructed view out the front windows (similar to that of theHKIA automated people mover). However, each train has at least one staff for patrol in the traffic hour who are able to control the train manually to comply with requirements from theFire Services Department.[14] The trains feature a different interior compared to the Kwun Tong Line configuration as well as a different paint scheme and headlight styling. Designed in sixteen months, all ten three-car trains are now in service.
