Class 628.2 / 928.2
Vehicle type:
Registration country:
Railway companies:
1986
Before it became widespread, however, a number of short-term
requirements from the future production Class 628.2 units were
integrated, including a 1st class open compartment, better
ventilation and a dividing wall between the driver's cab and the
passenger compartment. Externally the front and back were more
angled, the triple headlamp was moved down and a train destination
display added in order to improve the vehicle's appearance and to
keep passengers better informed. In all, 150 of these units were
procured between 1986 and 1989. At the Kiel locomotive depot
(Betriebswerk) several of these railcars were driven for a while at
up to 140 km/h, but because this seriously increased wear and tear,
these express duties were soon terminated again. The Class 628.2
with the DB's Regionalbahn in Schleswig-Holstein was given a
redesign with new seats, new interior decor, wheelchair ramps etc.
Several years before, a Karlsruhe 628.2 had also been given a
fundamental modernisation of its interior. A few units were sold to
private operators in the Czech Republic.
