Description
A section of a historic Berlin underground railcar.
Year of manufacture: 1926
Type: Car 31, Class A-I (18th batch)
History of the vehicle:
The railcar operated in West Berlin until the 1960s, after which it formed part of the AG Underground Museum Train (part of the BVG’s collection of historic museum vehicles). Decommissioned in 2002, it was later housed in the former Berlin Treptow tram depot, where it served as a restaurant. As a result, the underground carriage lost its status as a ‘museum carriage’.
A-I series: Between 1901 and 1926, a total of 385 power carriages and 252 trailers of this type were built for Berlin’s narrow-gauge network.
Period of service: The A1 carriages operated in regular West Berlin passenger service until December 1968. Carriage 31II.
