Trainset 3 with two InterRegio coaches of the IR 2184 "Nordpfeil"
of Deutsche Bahn.
Consisting of one 2nd class coach, type Bimz 264.7, and one 2nd
class coach, type Bimdz 268.3.
■ Train route Hannover – Frederikshavn
■ Labeled as a multi-voltage coach
The express train Nordpfeil – or in Danish Nordpilen – was for
decades the classic express connection between Hamburg and northern
Jutland until 1991. It also traversed the famous Rendsburg High
Bridge over the Nord-Ostsee Canal. Four years after the
introduction of the IR line Kassel - Flensburg, the Nordpfeil
experienced its rebirth as an Interregio: It operated from Hannover
via Hamburg, Flensburg, Fredericia, Aarhus (the second largest city
in Denmark) to Frederikshavn.
This international IR train is accurately modeled with
multi-voltage coaches and the corresponding train destination
signs. In Denmark, the train consisted of 5 coaches (Art. No.
6200289 and 6200290), and three additional coaches (Art. No.
6200288) were added until Flensburg.
The IR Nordpfeil/Nordpilen was pulled north of Flensburg by the DSB
class MZ. Up to that point, the train was hauled in double traction
by the DB class 218, after the electric locomotive had been
detached in Hamburg-Altona. With the ongoing electrification, this
change of traction type could initially be moved to Neumünster from
winter 1995, and from summer 1996 directly to the Danish border
station Padborg.
