The ER200 was a Russian electric train built in Riga by Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca. It was the first high-speed Direct Current intercity Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) with rheostatic brake. There were two designs. First in 1974 came the ER200-1 EMU which went into commercial operation in 1984. A 1992 design went into operation between Sankt-Peterburg and Moscow in 1996.
