THE DIESEL RAILCAR CLASS 614

DER DIESELTRIEBZUG BAUREIHE 614

The German Federal Railway has put new diesel railcars into service on non-electrified main and secondary lines. A development from the BR 624/634 diesel railcar is the three-unit type BR 614/914. Particular importance was attached to the wishes of travellers in the design of the passenger spaces, with air suspension and noise deadening adding further to passenger comfort. Details of the new railcar series are given.
