A 9-CAR MECHANICALLY-REFRIGERATED TRAIN FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC

9-WAGEN-KUEHLZUG FUER DEN TRANSITVERKEHR

This train was built to meet the transport requirements of UIC Member Railways. In addition to the central power supply from a special car, another feature is that the cars can be mechanically refrigerated individually. The technical and economic parameters of this new train are compared against those of earlier models to show the improvements made by the use of large sections and special insulating materials.
