Description

At the start of the Thirties, there was another modernization push with the introduction of closed platforms and welded car bodies. These units remained in service on the DB well into the Sixties, often also as intermediate cars for powered rail cars. A few cars have been preserved – among other things on the Bavarian Local Railroad Association and on the IG 3 Lakes Railroad in the Black Forest.
