L-train is a collaboration wrapped train with the Saitama Seibu Lions professional baseball team, operated by Seibu Railway. Featuring the team color Legend Blue, the train carries the team logo and seasonal player photos. The first L-train appeared in 2010 and the design and rolling stock have evolved over time. From March 2025 the fourth-generation L-train entered service using a series 40000-50 set. This new design retains the basic L-train look while adding the team’s Leo Mark to bring fans closer to the Saitama Seibu Lions.
