The Jiha (Japanese ジハ, Korean 디하) class railcars were a pair of Diesel-powered railcars of the Chosen Government Railway (Sentetsu). After Liberation, they all remained in the South, where they were operated by the Korean National Railroad; none were preserved. Following the experiences with the Keha class petrol railcars, in 1931 Sentetsu decided, in the interests of reducing fuel costs, to design and introduce a railcar powered by a diesel engine. Two Jiha1 (ジハ1) diesel railcars were therefore built in 1933 at the Gyeongseong Works.

ABe 4/4 I Nr. 35 at the Blonay–Chamby Museum Railway The Rhaetian Railway's takeover of the BB in 1943 included the acquisition of the BB's ageing railcars. With their service history of only up to 35 years, those railcars had not yet reached the end of their working lives, but their performance left much to be desired. However, the railcars were not the only aspect of the BB requiring significant investment. For that reason, the Rhaetian Railway refrained from purchasing new railcars.

The Model T Ford railcars worked on the two branch lines for the latter half of the 1920s, but not to any notable degree of success. This was in part due to their wheel arrangement; bogies give a more comfortable ride than the two separate axles used by these particular railcars. The railcars were also prone to overheating as the luggage bags hung from the bonnet blocked the motor's ventilation, and this led some members of the public to nickname the railcars "tea pots" or "coffee pots". Other nicknames were "glasshouses" and "pie carts".

The electric railcars that were taken over were designated as Class ET 188 and the steam railcars acquired from the Oderbruchbahn were grouped into Class DT 151. Modified railcars used their previous DRG wagon numbers, but these were prefixed by the DR with the letters VT. For new vehicles another scheme was used. In 1954 a new system was introduced for the fast Ganz (DR Class VT 12.14) railcars imported from Hungary. After the class letters 'VT' the next two digits indicated the top speed divided by 10.

The railcars could only be driven from one end and had to be turned by a turntable to make a return journey. They also couldn't be worked in multiple, if two railcars were working back to back both required a driver. The railcars were incapable of hauling most freight wagons, so steam traction continued to be used on freight and excursion trains. The railcars were powerful enough to haul specially constructed trailers and some lightweight freight wagons, these special wagons were painted red to distinguish them from the heavier wagons which were grey.

New South Wales Hunter railcar In 2006, 14 Hunter diesel railcars were ordered to replace 620/720 class railcars. They are a new type of diesel multiple unit used on the Hunter Valley lines centred on Newcastle. The Hunter railcars were built by United Goninan and are sharing Newcastle to Maitland, Telarah and Dungog regional services with Endeavour railcars. The design is derived from the new generation Transwa Prospector, except that the lower top speed requirement for the Hunter railway line means that the driving cars are each single-engined instead of dual-engined.

Nine railcars received completely new electrical equipment; their power output was thereby increased to , and in some of the later rebuilds to as much as . Those modifications doubled the railcars' maximum towing capacity to , and increased their top speed from . This first series of rebuilt railcars was given the new traffic numbers 30–38 (see table). The Chur-Arosa-Bahn, which was similarly merged with the Rhaetian Railway during World War II, brought to that merger only six railcars, which was insufficient for its burgeoning winter sport traffic.

As the traffic peak on the Bernina Railway was in summer, it was possible, after the three way merger, to redeploy a few railcars to Chur each winter. For that purpose, the Rhaetian Railway rebuilt railcars nos 31 to 34 in 1946–1947 to a dual voltage configuration. That rebuilding included totally new electrical equipment with a step controller and more powerful motors made by SAAS, and an air brake system for the railcars themselves. However, trains hauled by the railcars continued to be braked using a vacuum system.

In 1976 it was announced that no more railcars would receive major overhaul works, and they would be withdrawn from service as they wore out. By 1978, the only remaining railcars in NZR service were the Silver Ferns.

DUEWAG, delivered eight eight-axle articulated railcars (no. 82 to 89) from 1966. These were operated from November 1966 and in coupled sets from 28 May 1967. The Düwag vehicles differed significantly from the existing Rastatt articulated railcars.

New diesel railcars were ordered, and added first to the Kildare suburban route. The route from Clonsilla to Maynooth was double-tracked and further diesel railcars ordered, and the reopening of stations such as Drumcondra. Again, the North-South Dublin route saw new railcars provide services to Dundalk and Arklow. A number of orders were made for new DART carriages, the first for over a decade.

Class 805.9 Railcar From 1929 two ČSD class M 11.0 railcars, which were narrow gauge versions ČSD Class M 120.4, were introduced. In 1939 two further railcars, this time ČSD class M 21.0 were acquired. Railcar services continued until shortly after World War II. Railcar M 21.004 is currently at Čierny Balog on the Čierny Hron Railway. Four modernised 805.9 railcars have been obtained to run services.

A-series railcars can be coupled to form four or six carriage trains.

However, the barriers began appearing on 7000-series railcars in October 2018. In late June 2019, WMATA announced that all 7000-Series railcars were fitted with the new safety chains and phased out the "This is a 7000-series train" announcement.

No transfer of commodities was necessary upon arrival or railcars in Havana; Cuban railways handled the railcars directly to consignees. North American owned railcars operated routinely throughout Cuba, but evidence suggests that cars of the Cuban railways rarely, if ever, operated on North American roads. The WIF&SS; Co. maintained a fleet of refrigerator cars and boxcars with WIF reporting marks. WIF boxcars did regularly operate throughout the United States.

They proved to be economical by the Railways Department's fuel consumption standards of the time, able to run 100 km on 18.8 litres of fuel. However, as the railcars rode roughly and were prone to overheating, they were unpopular with passengers and thus unsuccessful.David Jones, Where Railcars Roamed: The Railcars Which Have Served New Zealand Railways (Wellington: Wellington Tramway Museum, 1997), 10. The line became freight only from 9 February 1931.

By 1925 local and urban railway passenger transport was coming under threat from the increasing popularity of the automobile. Seeing their successful use abroad, Sentetsu decided to put railcars with internal combustion engines into service. In Korea, the first 3rd class petrol-powered railcars entered service in 1928 on the narrow-gauge Donghae Jungbu Line (Daegu-Gyeongju, now part of the Daegu and Jungang lines). These were the Nageha1 class railcars.

Service is with ATER X 73500, XGC and on occasion modernised X 4630 railcars.

The T1 railcars are said to be the world's oldest operational electric railway vehicles.

The music video shows a group of people forming a human chain near a railroad station, while at the same time, some railroad cars are shown in motion. Throughout the video, more people join in the chain, which they call the "Love Train". It was most likely filmed around the Northeast Corridor, as Long Island Rail Road MP75 railcars appear throughout the music video (in which the words "LONG ISLAND" are clearly visible), as well as Amtrak railcars, Penn Central railcars, and other railcars. Not much is known about the music video, although it was recorded in 1973.

The A-series railcars were built for the electrification of Perth's suburban railway system in the early 1990s and the Joondalup line, which was being constructed in the same period. The first was delivered on 1 September 1990. The original order for 43 first-generation railcars were followed by an additional order for 5 second-generation railcars due to the Joondalup line exceeding passenger estimates. Delivered in 1998, the second-generation railcars differ in having LED screens and other upgrades to security and accessibility, as well being the first suburban trains to feature longitudinal seating throughout.

DB class VT 95 railbuses operated on the Haller Willem until 1966, but due to their poor performance on the gradient and the insufficient number of seats, they were replaced by DB Class VT 98 sets, while from 1963 both classes were used. From 1962 until 1980, DB class ETA 150 battery railcars operated on the line. From 1964, DB class VT 24 railcars also operated on the line, with individual railcars being used as a substitute for other classes of railcars until 2003 on the Haller Willem. After 1975, DB Class 614 sets were used here, but their use ended around 2000.

Initially passenger services railway was operated with steam railcars consisting of tank engine and carriage couple, the engine being designed by Edward Fletcher, later LNER Class G5s were used. Later Sentinel railcars were used, and Diesel multiple units operated the line before closure.

Mahoney, Kings of the Iron Road, 67. In 1938, the RM class Standard railcars entered service and they operated an evening service between Wellington and Palmerston North to complement the Express. In a test run, one of these railcars completed the journey in 6.5 hours. However, difficulties on the 1 in 35 grades of the original Turakina route and Westmere Bank meant that the railcars had to have different gears installed, reducing their top speed from 120 km/h to 105 km/h.David Jones, Where Railcars Roamed: The Railcars Which Have Served New Zealand Railways (Wellington: Wellington Tramway Museum, 1999), 18. Increasing competition from road and air led to a decline in passengers after World War II. The New Plymouth Express and Taranaki Flyer ran for the last time on 31 October 1955 and were replaced by Standard and 88-seater railcars. The New Plymouth Night Express was similarly replaced by 88-seater railcars the next year. The railcar substitute for the Taranaki Flyer ran for the last time on 7 February 1959,Tony Hurst, Farewell to Steam: Four Decades of Change on New Zealand Railways (Auckland: HarperCollins, 1995), 74.

After attempts by SMR to sell the Tulloch railcars failed, they were scrapped in 1977.

In 1945 PR removed the Sentinel engines and converted the railcars to ordinary coaching stock.

Thereafter, the main passenger service to stop at Mauriceville was its replacement, the Wairarapa Mail. A new passenger-only service was provided from 1936 with the introduction of the Wairarapa-class railcars, which supplemented and later replaced the Wairarapa Mail in 1948. The Wairarapa railcars were in turn replaced after the opening of the Rimutaka Tunnel in 1955 by the twinset railcars, which provided the main passenger service for Mauriceville for the next 22 years.

Mahoney, Kings of the Iron Road, pp. 81-86. Standard and 88 seater class railcars also operated to Mangatainoka, especially after the Wairarapa railcars were withdrawn in the wake of the Rimutaka Incline's 1955 closure. Carriage trains through Mangatainoka were reintroduced in 1964 but did not fully replace the railcars until 1977. As roads in the area improved through the 1980s, passenger numbers declined and all services north of Masterton ceased on 29 July 1988.

As more B-series railcars became available with the ordering of a third generation, they allowed the remaining A-series railcars operating on the Joondalup and Mandurah lines to be redistributed to the Armadale/Thornlie, Midland and Fremantle lines, increasing total capacity for these lines.

Beginning in the 1930s, all passenger traffic on the Jokioinen Railway was carried in railcars. Two railcars ran on the Jokioinen Railway. The first railcar ran from 1930 to 1932 and the second ran from 1932 to 1942. The railway had three passenger coaches.

Randolph, page 104 The GWR appears never to have used their diesel railcars on the line.

Rail services on the line are operated by Agilis with Stadler Regio- Shuttle RS1 diesel railcars.

The trains consist of class 612 diesel railcars or Silberling carriages hauled by class 218 locomotives.

The lines are currently worked by diesel railcars as part of the Cork Suburban Rail services.

Parry People Movers Ltd. (PPM) is a British company manufacturing lightweight trams and railcars that use flywheel energy storage (FES) to store energy for traction, allowing electric systems to operate without overhead wires or third rails, and railcars fuelled by small gas, diesel or hydrogen engines.

The Transwa WDA/WDB/WDC class are a class of railcars built by United Goninan, Broadmeadow for Transwa in 2004-2005 to replace the WAGR WCA/WCE class railcars on the AvonLink, MerredinLink and Prospector services in Western Australia. They are capable of high-speed operation.

LINT 81 diesel multiple unit during trials in Mainz, July 2014 vlexx GmbH has operated Alstom Coradia LINT diesel multiple unit since December 2014. Services are operated with LINT 54 as two-part diesel railcars with 162 seats or three-part diesel railcars with 264 seats.

The NZR RM class Midland railcar (or Leyland diesel railcar) was the first successful railcar, and first diesel-powered vehicle, to enter revenue service in New Zealand.Jones, David (1997). Where Railcars Roamed: The Railcars Which Have Served New Zealand Railways. Wellington: Wellington Tramway Museum. p. 16.

A single first class sleeping car vehicle was used. The service ceased in 1939. In an attempt to reduce costs, the LNER introduced Sentinel steam railcars on the North Berwick branch. Trials were carried out in 1928 and from 1930 the railcars regularly appeared on the branch.

In November 1956, the Northland Express carriage train was replaced by a railcar service utilising 88 seater (also known as Fiat) railcars. These popular services barely lasted longer than a decade, being withdrawn in July 1967 as the railcars proved mechanically unreliable. The Auckland Harbour Bridge had opened in 1959 and drastically cut road transport times north, and in the face of heightened competition, the railway could not compete. No dedicated passenger service replaced the railcars.

A Série 9300 railcar at Sernada do Vouga The Série 9300 were a class of 10 self-propelled diesel railcars built for the metre gauge lines of the Portuguese Railways (CP). They were built by Allan of Rotterdam in 1954; they are similar to the Iberian gauge Série 0300 railcars built by the same manufacturer. These railcars were used on several different lines, including the Tua line and the Vouga line. They often towed a matching trailer carriage.

When powered railcars were introduced, a new classification system was introduced, with National Railway railcar classes - otherwise identical to the Mantetsu classes - having the class designation preceded by "國" (koku, "country"). Diesel railcars of the National Railway were numbered in the 2000 series. The April 1938 system changed this, introducing a new, unified classification system, and numbering petrol and diesel railcars belonging to the National Railway in the 200 series. Freight equipment was distinctively American in appearance.

The railcars reduced the journey time between Auckland and Whangarei to 4 hours and 10 minutes, but mechanical faults with the railcars and the 1959 opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge meant that the railcars did not have a long future. They ceased operating on 31 July 1967 and passenger services on the North Auckland Line and Okaihau and Opua branches were operated by mixed trains. The Okaihau mixed ended in 1974, followed by the others in 1976.

Makies gravel train propelled by BDe 576 057 and 056 railcars. The railcars are of the same design as the BDe 4/4 251 and 252 railcars procured in 1966, but have a somewhat different front. The Wolhusen–Huttwil line has been served hourly by three-part NINA DMUs since the timetable change in 2013. It is part of line S6 of the Lucerne S-Bahn, which runs between and Langenthal as part of a portion worked train.

The railway depot's primary purpose is to service, refurbish and upgrade Transperth's A-Series railcars. The newer B-series railcars may also be stabled at Claisebrook railway depot for work that cannot be done at Mandurah or Nowergup at any time and for events such as the Australian Football League games on weekends at Perth Stadium. The depot has also recently started serving as the facility to maintain and refurbish the diesel-electric Transwa Australind railcars.

Diesel multiple unit of class 611 in Kaiserslautern From 1897, accumulator railcars of classes MC and MBCC were operated between Ludwigshafen and Neustadt. Wittfeld accumulator railcars, which were stationed in Kaiserslautern, operated from 1926 to about 1952, mainly between Kaiserslautern and Landstuhl. High-speed trains diesel- hydraulic multiple units of classes VT 08 and VT 12.5 were operated in the 1950s and 1960s. Class 515 accumulator railcars occasionally operated on the line from 1956 to 1989.

A CP railcar of Série 9100 at Amarante station on the Tâmega line, May 1996 Série 9100 were a class of metre gauge diesel railcars built for use by the Portuguese Railways (CP) on the Tâmega line. Only three were built; they were constructed in Sweden by NOHAB in 1949. They were essentially a narrow gauge version of CP's larger Série 0100 railcars. They were withdrawn from service in 2002 and replaced by Série 9500 railcars.

Railcars are economic to run for light passenger loads because of their small size, and in many countries are often used to run passenger services on minor railway lines, such as rural railway lines where passenger traffic is sparse, and where the use of a longer train would not be cost effective. A famous example of this in the United States was the Galloping Goose railcars of the Rio Grande Southern Railroad, whose introduction allowed the discontinuance of steam passenger service on the line and prolonged its life considerably. Railcars have also been employed on premier services. In New Zealand, although railcars were primarily used on regional services, the Blue Streak and Silver Fern railcars were used on the North Island Main Trunk between Wellington and Auckland and offered a higher standard of service than previous carriage trains.

The Redhen railcars were the backbone of Adelaide's metropolitan rail system between the late 1950s and the early 1990s."The 300-400 Class Railcars and 829-860 Class Trailer of the South Australian Railways" Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin issue 576 October 1985 pages 219-242"The 300-400 Class Railcars and 829-860 Class Trailer of the South Australian Railways" Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin issue 577 November 1985 pages 243-261"The 300-400 Class Railcars and 829-860 Class Trailer of the South Australian Railways" Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin issue 578 December 1985 pages 279-283 The first Redhens were introduced by the South Australian Railways in October 1955 to replace ageing suburban steam locomotive hauled trains in Adelaide."Multiple-Unit Diesel Trains" Railway Gazette 30 July 1954 page 120"Australasia" Diesel Railway Traction April 1956 page 134 Construction of Redhen vehicles continued until 1971, when the latest examples were built to supersede 1920s-era diesel railcars. TransAdelaide withdrew the last Redhens from regular service in December 1996, following delivery of a new fleet of 3000 class railcars.

Trains departed from Puerto Deseado three times a week. The railcars had a capacity of 42 passengers.

The railcars initially covered a day, reducing to when the Reefton service was cut back to Greymouth.

Matt Johnson, "How Many Railcars Does it Take to Run Metro?" Greater Greater Washington, May 24, 2012.

These diesel railcars were built during the period 1954-1983. 787 vehicles were built in 12 series.

The company has owned a total of eight steam locomotives, five diesel locomotives and three diesel railcars.

It was originally formed of R set carriages painted green and cream. From 1949 until 1957 it was formed of air-conditioned HUB carriages. In March 1961, the 1100 class Budd diesel railcars took over. From the late 1970s they were joined by the 1200 class Tulloch diesel railcars.

Based on the Cravens built ADG/ADH class railcars, in 1959 the Midland Railway Workshops delivered the first of 10 ADX railcars. In 1966, ADX670 was fitted with power doors. Although deemed a success, no more conversions followed. Withdrawals commenced in 1982 with the last withdrawn in September 1988.

Two ABDe 4/4 railcars (6 and 8) collided front on at Martigny-Bourg on 1 September 1984. The train driver started towards Orsières despite the exit signal being at danger. The driver and five passengers were killed and 24 people were injured. The two railcars were rebuilt.

Some trains were at this time operated with class 612 and 628 railcars. No trains hauled by class 218s ran after the timetable change in December 2009. Instead, they were operated by class 628 multiple units. Class 54 and 81 LINT railcars have been used since December 2013.

An Endeavour set in the NSW TrainLink livery 28 Endeavour diesel railcars were introduced from 1994 to operate the non- electrified CityRail lines to replace the ageing DEB railcars and some of the 620/720 class railcars. They currently operate on the Southern Highlands line, the Illawarra line between Kiama and Bomaderry, the Bathurst Bullet on the Main Western line and the Hunter line. They previously operated weekend service on the Moss Vale – Unanderra line. They operate as two or four-car sets.

In September 2018, Metro issued a request for proposals from manufacturers for 256 railcars with options for a total of up to 800. The agency originally planned to award the contract in 2019 and receive the first railcars in 2024. On October 6, 2020, Metro selected Hitachi Rail to construct the new railcars. The first order would replace the 2000 and 3000-series equipment, while the options, if selected, would allow the agency to increase capacity and retire the 6000-series.

Class 158 diesel multiple unit Diesel multiple units and railcars are trains, usually with passenger accommodation, that do not require a locomotive. Railcars can be single cars, while in multiple units cars are marshalled together with a driving position either end. , 23 percent of the rail passenger cars used on Network Rail are part of a diesel multiple unit. Some prototype steam-powered railcars appeared in the mid-19th century, and at the start of the 20th century over 100 were built.

Sentinel's main market for their railcars was for export, although the LNER also operated a number of them.

Under the contract, Metro originally agreed to purchase 428 7000-series railcars, both to replace its 1000-series cars and provide service for the new Silver Line. In April 2013, Metro elected to exercise an option in the contract to purchase an additional one hundred cars to replace its one hundred 4000-series cars, which it decided do not warrant being overhauled in light of chronic mechanical issues. In September 2013, Metro announced it exercised another option under the contract to purchase an additional 220 railcars, bringing the total order to 748 railcars. In total, the new 7000-series railcars currently make up more than half of Metro's rolling stock as of 2020.

These vehicles are liveried in blue/white. It is common, on light traffic days, for the railcars to operate without trailers. The drivers control cab, in some older railcars, is not separated from the passenger section. The line also has a collection of historic coaches and those for special use.

The tracks were kept and the railcars parked at the depot at Solbergfoss. A few freight trains were run, but this stopped after one derailed. The newly formed Norwegian Railway Club was given the two railcars in 1969. These were driven to Askim and then transported onward to the Krøderen Line.

After the end of the Pacific War and the subsequent partition of Korea, all thirteen railcars of both Nakeha classes remained in the South Korea, where they were operated by the Korean National Railroad. They were retired in 1965, being replaced by the Narrow-gauge DC-class diesel- hydraulic railcars.

As of 2014, some services are diesel 3000 class railcars and others are the new electric 4000 class units.

The AEZ railcars are occasionally use for enthusiast specials or to cover for trains that are out of service.

The line between Loftus and Waterfall remained unelectrified until 1980 and was serviced by steam and then diesel railcars.

The railcar run was cut back to Alexandra in May 1958 and railcars ceased running on 25 April 1976.

The WAGR ADH class was a four member class of diesel railcars operated by the Western Australian Government Railways.

Bradley (1974), pp. 60–61. Nevertheless, the LB&SCR; directors asked the Chief Mechanical Engineer, Robert Billinton, to investigate the use of steam or petrol railcars on lightly used services. Billinton died in 1904, before examples could be acquired, but in 1905 his successor Douglas Earle Marsh acquired two steam railcars from Beyer, Peacock and Company and two petrol railcars from Dick, Kerr & Co.. These were compared with small steam locomotives of the Stroudley A1 and D1 classes fitted for "motor train" or "push-pull" working.

When there are enough passengers to justify it, single-unit powered railcars can be joined in a multiple-unit form, with one driver controlling all engines. However, it has previously been the practice for a railcar to tow a carriage or second, unpowered railcar. It is possible for several railcars to run together, each with its own driver (as practised on the former County Donegal Railway). The reason for this was to keep costs down, since small railcars were not always fitted with multiple-unit control.

A Série 9500 railcar used on the Metro de Mirandela The Série 9500 are a class of lightweight diesel railcars formerly used by Comboios de Portugal on the metre gauge railways in northern Portugal. They are also known as LRV2000. Nine were constructed in the late 1990s (with new bodywork and new Volvo engines) from the chassis of Yugoslav-built, former Série 9700 railcars. Four railcars intended for the Metro de Mirandela were given a bright green livery, the other five carried a red livery.

The WAGR WCA class railcars and WCE class trailers were built by Comeng, Granville for the Western Australian Government Railways in 1971 to operate the new Prospector service between East Perth and Kalgoorlie. At the time of their construction the WCA class units were the longest and fastest diesel railcars in the world.

These trains have coaches, a dining car and a sleeping car or a couchette car or sometimes both. The TVS2000 railcars used on mainline service are the most comfortable cars in TCDD's entire fleet. TVS2000 railcars may also be used on International service because international services are considered mainline services within Turkey.

Churchman and Hurst, The Railways of New Zealand, 133. On 31 October 1955, the Flyer ran for the last time and was replaced by a railcar service operated by 88 seater and Standard RM class railcars. The railcars did not last long, as declining patronage resulted in their cancellation from 7 February 1959.

In 1999, BNSF Railway and Kansas City Southern Railway started using Auto-Max railcars. Most light-weight aluminium autoracks have 2 levels, but Auto-Max has 3 levels and is able to fit 22 cars inside. They are articulated two unit railcars that are about tall, and long. Single unit autoracks are long.

There used to run some meter-gauge diesel railcars in Bangladesh around the 1980's. But they were active for a short period of time and all of them went off from service. Some railcars were converted to standard passenger coaches and are used on some trains, notably the Chittagong University shuttle trains.

WES Commuter Rail car in central Beaverton The commuter rail line between Beaverton and Wilsonville is operated primarily with trains made up from a fleet of four Colorado Railcar Aero diesel multiple unit railcars. TriMet also owns a pair of Budd RDC diesel multiple unit railcars that are used as a backup.

The CF du Cambrésis had some four- wheeled Renault-Scémia railcars. These were only used on the lightest of trains.

Due to the inefficiencies of mixed trains for passenger services due to the long station stops needed for the shunting of freight cars to their destinations, Mantetsu opted to begin using passenger railcars on routes with lower passenger demand, for school shuttles, and the like. These railcars were somewhat different in character from those found in Japan, where they were introduced primarily as a competitive measure against the arrival of busses. As a result of experimentation with different technologies and fuel types (diesel, petrol, heavy oil, kerosene, etc.), there were a comparatively large number of classes of railcar operated over a relatively short period of time. Eventually, Mantetsu settled on railcars with petrol engines and mechanical transmission, and such railcars became the most numerous.

On Thursday, November 6, 2014, a freight train consisting of three locomotives and 240 railcars derailed 20 km north of Sept-Îles, because of a landslide over the rail tracks. The locomotives and several railcars ended up in the Moisie River. The engineer of the locomotive died and was found by divers two days later.

Ten of the railcars had wrecked crankcasesR.F. Black 8-3-1957 and blown motors a number of extra replacement motors and crankcases had to be ordered in 1956–57 and in 1958–59. Fiat staff and fitters from Italy came to New Zealand and essentially rebuilt the engines and power systems of all the railcars.

Despite the "Electric Short Line" name, the railroad never operated electric locomotives. Passenger service used gasoline- electric railcars manufactured by General Electric and Wason Car Company, though one gasoline-mechanical McKeen Motor Car Company railcar also saw use. The railcars often towed extra passenger cars as trailers. Freight trains were pulled by steam locomotives.

Here, a range of diesel motors can be selected, from large frame V-motors for locomotives to flat 6-cylinder sub-floor motors for motorized railcars or even the compact 12-cylinder motors often used by utility vehicles. For most modern motorized railcars, the preferred solution is a sub-floor mounted motor and transmission combination.

Except for commuter and school services, the passenger trains were predominantly operated with railcars and DMUs. For a long time, the Lahn Valley Railway was a focus for the operation of accumulator railcars of classes ETA 176 and ETA 150 sets with up to four cars. The Uerdingen railbus was also used in various versions.

The family of Walker railmotors were a type of diesel railcar operated by the Victorian Railways in Australia. After World War II, the Victorian Railways undertook a major rebuilding program known as Operation Phoenix. One of the first tasks was the upgrading of passenger services on country branch lines, through the replacement of 23 wooden-bodied railmotors built in the 1920s, and the withdrawal of steam locomotive hauled mixed trains. An initial order of twelve railcars, six railcars with trailers, and twelve railcars was placed with Walker Brothers, England.

From 1922 to 1932, Renault built several types of railcars, either one-offs or in very limited series. This allowed the company to test various technical options, notably diesel propulsion. By 1933, the company had perfected the basic design for a railcar, the Type VH, building 15 units at the Ile Seguin factory. These fifteen railcars were made available to various French railways. The networks of Alsace-Lorraine, the P.O., the PLM, the Compagnie de l’Est and the Chemins de fer de l'État used these railcars, which were delivered between March and December 1933.

The route is used daily by steam trains and railcars. According to the summer and winter timetable, there are five daily services in both directions over the whole route, some with changes in Alexisbad and Stiege, as well as on the side branches to Harzgerode and Hasselfelde (2016/2017 timetable). Other trains run between Quedlinburg or Gernrode and Alexisbad. The number of pairs of trains operated by steam trains or diesel railcars is approximately the same in the summer timetable, with railcars predominating in the winter half-year.

The B-series railcars operate as three and six carriage trains, with the potential for nine car trains in the future. They have a top speed of 130 km/h. On 19 September 2006 Premier Alan Carpenter, announced that the Public Transport Authority would purchase another 15 new 3-car sets from the EDI-Bombardier Transportation joint venture. The first of the second generation B-series railcars were introduced on 28 June 2009 and have allowed some of the A-series railcars to be transferred to the Midland-Fremantle line.

620/720 class railcar at Newcastle Eighteen two-car self-propelled 620/720 class railcars were introduced between 1961 and 1968, constructed at the New South Wales Government Railways' Chullora Railway Workshops. They were the final passenger railcars to be built by government workshops in NSW.Eade, W. 620/720: The Great Survivors. Railway Digest, November 2003 They were based on the 600/700 and 900/800 class railcars and were built for Newcastle suburban and regional workings, although they saw service on Wollongong services before electrification, and rural services to Cowra, Mudgee, Grafton and Murwillumbah.

Passenger development The VVS traffic area covers 3012 square kilometres with a population of around 2.4 million. In this area, 17 regional trainlines, seven S-Bahn lines, 19 Stadtbahnlinien operate (including two special lines that only run to special events), the Zahnradbahn Stuttgart, the Standseilbahn Stuttgart as well as 359 bus lines, three trolleybus lines (see trolleybus Esslingen am Neckar) and 28 night bus lines. The VVS operates 146 S-Bahn railway cars, 164 light rail vehicles, 26 diesel railcars, nine trolleybuses, three rack railcars, two funicular railcars and about 1300 buses.

Although limited to four coaches, the AEC's were put in service on the Dublin – Belfast Enterprise service. As a result, these units had the distinction of being the first successful main line diesel railcars in either Ireland or Britain. Upon dissolution of the GNR in 1958, 10 AEC's went to CIÉ (Where they joined the existing fleet of AEC railcars, with each vehicle number receiving an 'n' suffix), and 10 went to the UTA. The UTA had experimented with AEC railcars in 1951 as well, turning out two power cars, No.'s 6 and 7.

It was commercially successful for some time, the TVR had nineteen steam railcars at the peak and offered first and third class accommodation. The railcars had the disadvantage of inflexibility at busy times and the small traction units became worn out after a decade and a half. At that stage the TVR converted the coaches to push-and-pull control trailers, using small independent locomotives as the power unit. As well as introducing steam railcars in 1903, the TVR obtained Parliamentary powers in that year to install electric traction equipment.

By 1936, railways in Argentina faced increasing competition from road transport. Some British owned companies (such as Great Southern Railway) responded by acquiring railcars from Drewry Car Co. By this time, BAM carried very few passengers, and was losing money. In order to increase the number of passengers carried and to compete against Southern, Western and GCBA railways, BAM acquired 10 railcars from Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Company, powered with Gardner engines. The railcars entered service on 1 January 1939, replacing old steam locomotives on all services passenger.

NIR and IÉ both run suburban services using diesel multiple units (DMUs) – these are termed railcars in Ireland (see rail terminology).

Usually DBAG Class 423 railcars are used on this service. Its predecessor class 420 is only used for shortened shuttle services.

The Redhen railcars were a self-propelled railcar built by the South Australian Railways’ Islington Railway Workshops between 1955 and 1971.

The NZR RM class Westinghouse railcar was an experimental railcar built by the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR) in 1914. Although not the first railcar to operate in New Zealand, it was the first to enter revenue service.David Jones, Where Railcars Roamed: The Railcars which have Served New Zealand Railways (Wellington: Wellington Tramway Museum, 1997), 4.

Hunter railcar Hunter railcars are the newest members of NSW TrainLink's diesel fleet, serving the Hunter line only. Introduced between 22 November 2006 and 10 September 2007, they replaced the old 620/720 railcars. Features of the series of the 7 2-car trains include air-conditioning, security cameras, on- board passenger information displays and digital voice announcements.

Aside from a number built by the Shahekou Works, these railcars were for the most part built by Nippon Sharyō in Japan. Although most were introduced in Period 3, due to the overlap in the Mantetsu and Manchurian National classifications of railcars, the list below is presented in the order of the unified classification scheme of 1938 (Period 4).

Naturpark-Express in Tuttlingen station The Regional-Express services are mainly operated with class 612 railcars. The Ringzug trains are composed of Stadler Regio-Shuttles. The Naturpark-Express is operated with two NE 81 railcars with a former postal car coupled between them for carrying bicycles. Freight traffic is normally hauled by of class V 90 locomotives.

The service was replaced with a diesel-hauled train, which continued until 1979. The evening railcars lasted a few years longer, but the age of the Vulcan railcars was becoming increasingly obvious and the service was cancelled in April 1976 without replacement. After 1979, the Southerner was the only long-distance passenger service on the South Island Main Trunk.

Clayton Equipment Ltd was preceded by Clayton Wagons Ltd., a subsidiary company of Clayton & Shuttleworth based in Lincoln, England. As well as railway rolling stock, Clayton Wagons also constructed motive power such as steam-powered railcars, including one of only two steam railcars to operate in New Zealand.Ruddock J.G. and Pearson R.E.(1989) Clayton Wagons Ltd.

The TÜVASAŞ 2000 or more commonly known as TVS2000 is a series of intercity railcars built by TÜVASAŞ for the Turkish State Railways between 1993 and 2005. They were built in order to revive TCDD's failing image in the early 1990s, for use on the Capital Express. Today they are the most common railcars in Turkey.

The South Australian Railways Model Brill railcar were two types of railcars operated by the South Australian Railways between 1925 and 1971. Introduced to run on country rail services, the "Barwell Bulls" serviced most of the state's railway lines until they were eventually replaced by both the Bluebird and Redhen railcars, with the last units withdrawn in 1971.

All traffic was steam hauled until the early 1930s, when Billard railcars were introduced to handle some of the passenger traffic. Steam locomotives were operated until the 1950s. In 1981, the Centre region and SNCF agreed to rebuild the four Verney railcars, and built two new ones. The timetable was reorganised to give better connections with the SNCF.

GMs with a Trans Australian at Cook in 1986 Australian National operated passenger services within South Australia, primarily using Bluebird railcars. In December 1986, Australian National reintroduced services to Whyalla and Broken Hill using CB railcars."Western Report" Railway Digest February 1987 page 52 The remaining services were withdrawn in 1990. It also operated The Ghan.

The extremely economical vehicles were equipped with a passenger, a luggage and a postal compartment. The same railcars were also acquired by the Huttwil–Eriswil railway (Huttwil-Eriswil- Bahn, HEB) and the Ramsei-Sumiswald-Huttwil-Bahn (RSHB). The railcars were supported on three axles in order not to exceed the permissible axle load. The middle axle powered the vehicle.

For passenger transport a Drewry railcar and three Wickham railcars with five trailers were used. The key objective of the Wickham railcars was to provide rolling stock for the School Train. A few flat wagons were also modified for transporting passengers. These were for instance used for the Picture Train, to transport passengers to and from the island’s cinema.

Many Amtrak trains used a combination of refurbished former Santa Fe Hi-Level cars with newer Superliner railcars until the early 2000s.

Regionalbahn services on the whole line are operated on behalf of the Upper Palatinate district by Vogtlandbahn with Siemens Desiro diesel railcars.

The 54th Yard is a CTA rail yard for the Pink Line in Cicero, Illinois. Currently, 5000-series railcars are stored here.

A single barge carries the equivalent of 15 railcars and on the Lower Mississippi some tows handle up to 40 plus barges.

The railcars reduced the journey time to Carhué to 8 hours; the same journey took 14 hours on the Great Southern Railway.

Hokuriku Railway uses ten 8000 series (formerly Keio 3000 series) railcars on the Asanogawa Line. They are typically run in paired sets.

1906 poster advertising rail motor services In addition to the joint railcars of 1903, the London Brighton and South Coast Railway directors asked their Chief Mechanical Engineer, Robert Billinton, to investigate the use of steam or petrol railcars on lightly used services. Billinton died in 1904, before examples could be acquired, but in 1905 his successor Douglas Earle Marsh acquired two steam and two petrol railcars, for comparative purposes with small steam locomotives of the Stroudley A1 and D1 classes fitted for "motor train" or "push-pull" working. The steam railcars were built by Beyer, Peacock and Company and were of a similar design to those supplied by this company to the North Staffordshire Railway. They were stationed at Eastbourne and St Leonards and ran services on the East and West Sussex coast lines.

Improvements to railcars were sought by The Pullman Company, who experimented with lightweight designs in partnership with the Ford Motor Company in 1925, then enlisted the services of pioneering all-metal aircraft designer William Bushnell Stout in 1931 to adapt airplane fuselage design concepts to railcars. In 1931 the Budd Company entered a partnership with the French tire company Michelin to produce lightweight stainless steel Budd-Michelin railcars in the US. Those advances in lightweight railcar design were an important step in the development of the lightweight diesel-electric streamliners of the 1930s. Production of self-propelled railcars dropped off with the onset of the Great Depression, which hurt the market for branch line services. But production was revived in 1949 with introduction of the Budd Rail Diesel Car.

But by the mid-1960s the railcars were dated, patronage fell and services became unprofitable. NZR requested the calling of tenders for new engines and crankshafts for all 35 railcars plus spares for £1.05 million pounds in July 1966.Alan Gandell NZR General Manager to Minister of Railways 28-7-1966CME NZR 5-12-1966 to Adv Engineer, NZ High Comm London and reply 7/12/66 CME to RR on proposal of using Rolls Royce 6 cylinder supercharged engines to re-engine the railcars In January 1967 the Cabinet approved only replacement crankshafts to continue the railcars for five years on the Wairarapa, Wellington-Napier- Gisborne and Auckland-New Plymouth routesIvan Thomas NZR GM on 13-3-1967 releases Cabinet 30/1/67 decision to reject the calling of tenders to re- engine the railcars and schedule of progressive route abandonment to phase them out over 5 years and to conduct trials of fast upgraded railcar service between Auckland and Hamilton (later known as the "Blue Streak" service) and Wellington and Palmerston North. At the time it was intended to scrap all railcar operation in the South Island, except for Vulcans on the Picton (Vulcan railcars and summer passenger trains replaced the 88-seaters on this route from 1967–1968) and West Coast services.

NIR replaced their ageing DMUs with Class 3000 and Class 4000 regional railcars built by CAF, which arrived in 2005 and 2011, respectively.

The devastating fires of 1926 and 1929 destroyed the pugwash hotels, so luxury railcars were parked at the station and used as accommodations.

The Harlem Yard is a CTA rail yard for the Green Line in Forest Park, Illinois. Currently, 5000-series railcars are stored here.

The WAGR ADG class was an 18 member class of diesel railcars operated by the Western Australian Government Railways between 1954 and 1992.

The WAGR ADX class was a 10 member class of diesel railcars operated by the Western Australian Government Railways between 1959 and 1988.

The Suburban Fleet () were passenger railcars used by the Turkish State Railways on their suburban rail operations mainly in Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir.

Over time, most of the railcars also received fully welded metal body panels, and, simultaneously, rounded corners at the bases of their windows.

Class 143 with double-deck carriages near Ribnitz-Damgarten Ost Deutschen Bahn Stadler FLIRT railcars running as the Hanse-Express Regional services operate on the line at two-hour intervals between the two cities. Since December 2007, these have been operated using Stadler FLIRT railcars, which, because of their greater acceleration and higher speed, have reduced travel time on some sections. Before the introduction of the new railcars, trains often consisted of three double-decker cars hauled by a class 143 locomotive. On the Rostock–Rövershagen section there is an additional hourly direct train to Graal-Müritz.

As the 1950s began, competition increased from airlines, buses, and private cars. Passenger numbers began to dwindle, especially during off-peak periods, and the Railways Department began to investigate railcar alternatives that would be better suited to the service. In February 1956, just over ten years after the Picton Express began operating, it was replaced by the much faster RM class 88 seater railcars. The 88 seater railcars, however, proved expensive and time-consuming to maintain, and from 1967 began to be phased out with Picton route reverting to older Vulcan railcars and summer passenger trains.

As part of the nationalisation of private railways on 1 January 1950, railcars also had to be integrated into the numbering scheme. The spare numbers from 500 were used for this purpose. The railcars were, however, given different class numbers (Stammnummern) from those in the DRG's system. Class 133 was allocated to light, rail-omnibus- like, two-axled vehicles without standard drawbars or buffers. All other twin- axled railcars were given the class number 135. Petrol-driven vehicles were given serial numbers 501 to 503, diesel-motored ones numbers 509 to 550 and diesel-electric vehicles the numbers 551 to 553.

Surviving railcars on the Isle of Man Railway Under the management of Henry Forbes, traffic superintendent from 1910 to 1943, the County Donegal Railways became pioneers in the use of diesel traction.Britain Between the Wars: 1918–1940. Charles Loch Mowat, Taylor & Francis, 1968 The first diesel railcar was built in 1930 (the first diesel railcar anywhere in the British Isles), although two further petrol-engined railcars were built before standardisation on diesel traction in 1934. Eight articulated diesel railcars were constructed by Walker Brothers of Wigan between 1934 and 1951, by which time virtually all passenger services were operated by diesel railcar.

Originally these railcars used 275 h.p. Leyland engine, mounted beneath the chassis, however they were later refurbished in the 1960s with recycled engines from the former ex GNR(I) AEC railcars and new 275 hp engines from Rolls Royce. While the MPDs were cheap to build and economical to run they were somewhat lacking in passenger comfort compared to locomotive hauled coaches. The UTA designed a DMU which unlike earlier generations of railcars did not place the engine under the floor of a passenger coach but placed it in a specific compartment in the driving vehicle behind the cab.

The Wairarapa railcars were replaced after the opening of the Rimutaka Tunnel in 1955 by 88-seater twinset railcars, which provided the main passenger service for Pahiatua for the next 22 years. The 1959 railcar timetable shows two north-bound and two south-bound railcar services stopping daily, with a third service on Fridays. During the railcar period, locomotive-hauled carriage trains were occasionally provided when demand exceeded the capacity of the railcars, and replaced railcar services altogether in 1977. After the railcar services were withdrawn, patronage of passenger services on the northern section of the Wairarapa Line gradually declined.

The structure and interior of the diesel railcars was similar to the gasoline- powered Keha railcars, but they were more streamlined at both ends, and were powered by a German Motoren Werke Mannheim SS17S diesel engine with cylinders of bore; the pistons were made of light alloy, and the cylinder head was cast iron. The fuel injector and the injection timing mechanism were almost identical to those used today. The engines were imported from Germany and were installed at Gyeongseong. The diesel railcars, producing much less smoke than the gasoline-powered ones, were well received by the public and became quite popular.

For this reason, the stations of Rostock-Kassebohm, Bentwisch and Mönchhagen are not generally served by Regional-Express trains towards Stralsund. Railcars of class 642 (Siemens Desiro) or class 628 are used towards Graal-Müritz. Every two hours Usedomer Bäderbahn (UBB) trains operated between Stralsund and Velgast using class 646 railcars until 2017. They continued on the UBB network to Barth.

Freight did not operate directly to Auckland; it was conveyed to and from Whangarei, with other services operating south. Some trains were mixed trains, conveying both passengers and freight. In November 1956, railcars replaced the Opua Express. Unfortunately for Opua, the railcars operated to the other northern terminus of Okaihau on the Okaihau Branch, leaving Opua without any dedicated passenger trains.

When it opened, the station was served by a daily service from Adelaide operated by CB class railcars. The service was withdrawn in 1975.CB class Budd Railcars Chris' Commonwealth Railways Pages On 21 April 1986, the service was reintroduced as the Iron Triangle Limited. It was withdrawn on 31 December 1990 when Australian National withdrew all its South Australian passenger services.

The trains continue from Bodenfelde on the Solling Railway to Ottbergen, where there are good connections both towards Paderborn and towards Höxter, Holzminden and Kreiensen. The NordWestBahn operates three-part Bombardier Talent diesel railcars. DB Regio operated two-part LINT railcars until 14 December 2013. Until 2005, most DB services were operated with class 614 and 628 diesel multiple units.

M9 railcars, which are being purchased prior to East Side Access's opening The LIRR is also purchasing railcars to provide more passenger capacity as a result of East Side Access's construction. Up to 160 M9A cars might be built specifically to allow for train capacity increases, and are paid for using federal grant money attached to the East Side Access project.

X16 and X17 was a series of electric railcars operated by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) of Sweden. They were built by Svenska Järnvägsverkstäderna and ASEA in 1955-56 and delivered as 30 units. They are the electrical counterpart of Y6 and Y7 railcars. The units were mostly in service in Svealand, and later around Gävle and in Värmland in the 1980s.

On Thursday 18 December 1972, the Blue Streak services were replaced by the new Silver Fern railcars and were transferred to the Wellington-to-New Plymouth service, replacing Standard railcars. They continued in this service until Friday 30 July 1977. By that time they were no longer serviceable, patronage had continued to decline and the service was replaced with buses.

The heavy, four-wheel battery railcars were harsh on the track and trackbed, and were at the end of their economic life. The line was electrified and electric streetcar-type railcars were purchased. In 1996, a new railcar was purchased to run most services. In 2005, a second-hand railcar was purchased to act as reserve, allowing the former streetcars to be scrapped.

The demise of the Express came in 1955. That year the 88-seater railcars were introduced, allowing redeployed Standard railcars to replace the Express. This took effect on 31 October 1955, with the journey accelerated to 7.25 hours. As the 88-seater fleet expanded, they joined the Standards on the Wellington-New Plymouth run and operated it until 17 December 1972.

Electric railcars and mainline electric systems are rare, since electrification normally implies heavy usage where single cars or short trains would not be economic. Exceptions to this rule are or were found for example in Sweden or Switzerland. Some vehicles on tram and interurban systems, like the Red Car of the Pacific Electric Railway, can also be seen as railcars.

Services run regularly between Newcastle and Telarah, with infrequent services to Dungog, Muswellbrook and Scone. Services are operated by Endeavour and Hunter railcars. Until 2007, 620/720 class railcars operated the service. The line was the last in Australia to have a regular steam hauled passenger service. The final service was hauled from Newcastle to Singleton on 24 July 1971 by 3246.

By 1949 the line had run 430,828 kilometers. At mid-1949 brand new railcars were added to the FCCRCS although they were put on service one year later. By 1973 all the passenger services were operated with railcars. With the improvements in the line, some passengers choose Sarmiento as their destiniy for recreational trips, and some of them even for their honey moon.

Siemens Viaggio Comfort is a brand of locomotive-hauled railroad passenger cars built by Siemens Mobility. The car was designed in the early 2000s and was based on the earlier Siemens Viaggio Classic railcars. The railcars were first used in 2008 on Railjet, a high-speed rail service in Europe operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and Czech Railways (ČD).

National Steel Car recently won (January 2007) a contract for 1,200 custom-made railcars for TransLoad America, a New Jersey based waste transport firm.

Claisebrook railway depot has facilities to store, maintain and clean a large fleet of railcars. A-series trains stored at the Claisebrook railway depot.

Be 4/4 railcars are numbered 511 - 516 and are in use with B 2411-2420, ABDt 1711-1716 forming the so-called Stammnetzpendelzüge.

There are also articulated railcars, in which the ends of two adjacent coupled carriages are carried on a single joint bogie (see Jacobs bogie).

In 1989 and again in 1990 the Blue Fern train ran instead of railcars after Silver Fern railcar RM1 was involved in an accident.

It no longer carries railcars, but just carries electrical wires in a rack. It is located just north of Kansas Avenue over the Kansas River.

The Rosemont Yard is a CTA rail yard for the Blue Line in Rosemont, Illinois. Currently, 2600-series and 3200-series railcars are stored here.

The Bluebird railcars were a class of self-propelled diesel-hydraulic railcar built by the South Australian Railways' Islington Railway Workshops between 1954 and 1959.

Services on the Bridgewater line were mainly operated by Redhen railcars, with the 2000 class railcars occasionally used in its final years. On special occasions after 1987, such as the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival held every Easter weekend at Oakbank, trains ran further east to terminate at Balhannah. However, this service ceased prior to the standard gauge conversion, due to the expense of operating the line..

When it opened, the line was served by a daily passenger service from Adelaide to Whyalla operated by CB class railcars. The service was withdrawn in 1975.CB class Budd Railcars Chris' Commonwealth Railways On 21 April 1986, the service was reintroduced as the Iron Triangle Limited. It was withdrawn on 31 December 1990 when Australian National withdrew all its South Australian passenger services.

The number of railcars increased to six by 1938. However, the shortage of gasoline soon resulted in less use of the railcars. In the preparation stage for the Battle of Okinawa, the railway ceased normal operation on July 10, 1944, when 13,000 men of Imperial Army 9th Division started landing at Naha. From the next day the railway mostly operated trains for the military.

Since 1993 it has been in the possession of the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen (HSB) and was restored to working condition in 1999 after over 20 years in storage. Unlike the other HSB railcars, this one is painted uniformly in wine red and, with the exception of the 2007 programme, has been used exclusively for special services (during the inspections of the new railcars HSB 187 016 to 019).

The station was established in 1866 as the western terminus of the Ystad–Eslöv Line (which would later become the Österlen Line). The connection with the Ystad Line opened in 1874. The various railways were nationalized in the early 1940s, and from the 1950 Y6 diesel railcars were introduced. In 1985, the SiTY Train was launched between Simrishamn, Tomelilla and Ystad, using Y1 diesel railcars.

Diesel railcars damaged by the earthquake and tsunami were replaced by three new diesel railcars funded by Kuwait. The new cars were introduced in January 2014. The two sections of the Sanriku Railway were for a long time separated by a destroyed segment of the Yamada Line. On 23 March 2019, the Yamada Line section from Miyako to Kamaishi was reopened and transferred to Sanriku Railway.

Railcars of the previous operator, NOB, to Kiel in Husum station Passenger services over the whole Husum–Kiel route have been operated since December 2011 by Deutsche Bahn with Alstom Coradia LINT 41 railcars at hourly intervals. It replaced Nord-Ostsee-Bahn (NOB) as operator. Services over the 102 kilometre-long route take 81 or 83 minutes. Trains stop at Jübek, Schleswig, Owschlag, Rendsburg and Felde.

Railcar used in the 1960s and 1970s The idea of using DMUs is not new to KTMB. In 1960, the company operated diesel railcars on short distance services. The railcars operated in multiple unit formation until the mid 1970s, when they were converted into trailers and coupled with conventional diesel locomotives. In the 1980s, KTM ordered railbuses for similar services, but these services ended in the 1990s.

The Eurobahn bought 25 new four-part Stadler FLIRT railcars for operation on the Hellweg network. These replaced older Deutsche Bahn vehicles. The increased comfort of the new train sets as well as the fully functioning ticket machine in the train were well received by passengers. A workshop was built in Hamm-Heessen for servicing Eurobahn’s Flirt railcars with a capacity of 43 vehicles.

For most of its life, the Taranaki Flyer was a carriage train hauled by steam locomotives, and when it was introduced, it took approximately 4.5 hours to complete its journey. On 31 October 1955, the carriage trains were replaced by more economical railcars. The railcars were of the Standard and 88 seater types of the RM class. During the railcar period, the northbound train was no.

For safety reasons the railcars could not be run as single vehicles since they each had only one set of pinions. No. 21 had to be taken out of service by 2001 owing to problems with the speed control mechanism, and Nos. 22 and 23 were taken out of service in 2003 for the same reason. The railcars were finally taken away for scrap in July 2010.

The LIRR's electric fleet consists of 836 M7 and 170 M3 electric multiple unit cars in married pairs, meaning each car needs the other one to operate, with each car containing its own engineer's cab. The trainsets typically range up to 12 cars long. New M9 railcars at Penn Station. In September 2013, MTA announced that the LIRR would procure new M9 railcars from Kawasaki.

Thereafter, the main passenger service to stop at Eketahuna was its replacement, the Wairarapa Mail. A new passenger-only service was provided from 1936 with the introduction of the RM class Wairarapa-type railcars, which supplemented and later replaced the Wairarapa Mail in 1948. The Wairarapa railcars were in turn replaced after the opening of the Rimutaka Tunnel in 1955 by the twinset railcars, which provided the main passenger service for Eketahuna for the next 22 years. The railcar timetable of 1959 shows two northbound and two southbound railcar services stopping at Eketahuna each day of the week with a third service on Fridays.

An industrial spur is a type of secondary track used by railroads to allow customers at a location to load and unload railcars without interfering with other railroad operations. Industrial spurs can vary greatly in length and railcar capacity depending on the requirements of the customer the spur is serving. In heavily industrialized areas, it is not uncommon for one industrial spur to have multiple sidings to several different customers. Typically, spurs are serviced by local trains responsible for collecting small numbers of railcars and delivering them to a larger yard, where these railcars are sorted and dispatched in larger trains with other cars destined to similar locations.

Despite the Mails demise, carriage trains were sometimes operated to cater for demand at holiday times, as the railcars could not run in multiple and there were only six of them. In 1955, the Rimutaka Tunnel was opened, eliminating the Incline, and by December 1963, peak hour passenger demand exceeded the capacity of the 88 seater railcars that had taken over from the Wairarapa railcars. Accordingly, a permanent carriage train was re-introduced, from 16 December 1963, to the Wairarapa; this service was the forerunner to the still- operational Wairarapa Connection. An additional morning peak service was added in 1971, still using an 88-seat railcar.

In 1924 the South Australian Railways began using Model 55 Brill petrol railcars to provide passenger services on rural branch-lines, with Clare being the first destination, commencing on 24 February. Two days earlier, South Australian Premier Sir Henry Barwell hosted a group of officials and members of parliament on a demonstration run to Clare. By the end of 1924, the new railcars had become known in popular parlance as "Barwell Bulls", which was a term coined by one of Barwell's political opponents, with reference to the penetrating bovine sound of the railcar's air-horn. In 1927 the larger Model 75 Brill railcars operated the passenger service, and continued until 1954.

The Rhaetian Railway ABe 4/4 III is a class of metre gauge electric multiple unit railcars of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB), which is the main railway network in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The class is so named because it was the third class of railcars of the Swiss locomotive and railcar classification type ABe 4/4 to be acquired by the Rhaetian Railway. According to that classification system, ABe 4/4 denotes an electric railcar with first and second class compartments and a total of four axles, all of which are drive axles. Acquired in 1988 and 1990, the six railcars in the class are numbered 51 to 56.

The first 7131 railcars painted in green and ochre, c. 1963. Railcars were built in the FIAT factories of Turin, Decauville and Córdoba. Although the first railcars were manufactured in Italy and France, most of them were made in Argentina, in a factory specially designed for that assignment located in Ferreyra, Córdoba and named "Materfer". Some versions stated that the 7131 was inspired on the 1934 Pioneer Zephyr, a diesel-powered railroad train formed of railroad cars permanently articulated together with Jacobs bogies, built by the Budd Company in 1934 for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q;), commonly known as the Burlington.

Freightcar America is the sub lease holder at the National Alabama Facility, which is currently owned by the Retirement Systems of Alabama. Freightcar America produces railcars.

It was renumbered CGL11. RS2 was fitted with an Berliot diesel engine. It was renumbered PdC101. In 1934-35, five more railcars were built at Lumbres.

Following the delivery of the Hunter railcars all were withdrawn in 2007, with the last service running on 29 October 2007 from Newcastle to Paterson and return.

Retrieved on 2007-07-30. replacing the 2600-series railcars transferred to other lines, the 3200-series cars have since been returned to their original line assignments.

When the Trans Europ Express (TEE) network was set up in 1957, Herbesthal was where Belgian TEE train staff took over the railcars for the Belgian sections.

ST has four type 668.1000 railcars numbered 668.605, 668.606, 668.609 and 668.610 which were delivered in 1980. They are used on minor lines in the Veneto region.

In 2019, the two remaining serviceable Silver Ferns were withdrawn from service. In September 2020, the Pahiatua Railcar Society purchased all three railcars for preservation from KiwiRail.

In late 2013, Metro awarded a 60-month fixed price contract to ORX to overhaul the powered axle assemblies for the then twenty-three year old railcars.

On May 22, 2020, Senator Thom Tillis announced that NCDOT will receive an $80 million dollar grant to order 13 additional new railcars (for an overall total of 26 new railcars) and 6 new locomotives to replace the remainder of the current fleet. , nine former circus train cars purchased by NCDOT for $383,000 in 2017 for restoration and use on the Piedmont are stored in Spring Hope, North Carolina.

By the twentieth century, the Southsea Railway was experiencing competition with Portsmouth Corporation Transport trams and trolleybuses. Conventional steam trains on the line were replaced in 1903 with long steam railcars. The steam- powered railcars had small wheels and allegedly gave passengers a bumpy ride. As a cost-cutting measure, the Southsea Railway leased out the original 1885 Southsea station building in 1904, which become a motor engineers garage.

Portlaoise (formerly Maryborough) railway station opened on 26 June 1847. In March 2008, Irish Rail opened a new Traincare depot south-west of Portlaoise town centre (officially opened on 25 July 2008). The depot provides a high quality maintenance and servicing facility for the 183 intercity railcars and some facilities for outer suburban railcars serving the Dublin - Portlaoise route. Irish Rail also have their Permanent Way depot South of the station.

Diesel locomotive in Sfax Diesel railcars in Nabeul Electric train of TGM Electric train of Sahel Metro SNCFT owns about 180 diesel engines, 15 diesel railcars, 6 electric rail cars, over 200 passenger cars, and more than 5200 freight cars. On order are diesel engines that will attain a speed of 130 km/h; China South has supplied locomotives, two of which are used on the Tunis – Beja – Jendouba line.

Each train is composed by several railcars; some of them have a cab and a wheelchair bay for disabled people (MCH), and some of them have neither (M). ″MCH″-railcars were numbered by LeNord as E.711, ″M″-ones as E.710. In complex were built 208 MCH and 252 M, that can be merged forming trains from 3 (MCH + M + MCH) to 6 cars (MCH + M + M + M + M + MCH).

Jones and Marshall, pp. 119–20 CIÉ had been interested in railcars since its inception in 1945, but an initial plan for a four-car diesel-electric unit was cancelled.Doyle and Hirsch 1983, p. 126 However, the success of the GNR(I) cars and the 1948 Milne Report's recommendations in favour of railcars (but not diesel locomotives) encouraged the company to place a large-scale order with AEC in September 1950.

1938, the sidecar was rebuilt and provided with transverse seats of the arrangement 2 + 1. The railcars were also converted in 1944 and provided with a multiple AEG driving and braking control. Shortly before the end of the war, the sidecar was destroyed and the two railcars damaged. Technically speaking, the vehicles would probably have arrived in Moscow, but the condition ensured that the two cars remained in Berlin.

The 2'Bo' (AAR:2-B) arrangement has been used similarly, but rarely, for lightweight railcars that only needed two powered axles. Only one example is recorded, the diesel-electric four-car Rebel railcars of 1935. Three powercars were built, with a 600 bhp engine and two traction motors on a single bogie. Half of the powercar was used as a baggage car, supported by a conventional coaching stock unpowered bogie.

After the bunker ends, the bridge and the light rail lead together with the Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße on a railway embankment. On the railway embankment there is a turning facility between the railway tracks to Ginnheim. The western track is 155 meters long, so here six railcars can be parked in a row. The eastern track is only 105 meters long and thus designed for only four railcars.

Four-axle railcars were procured in 1951 and 1953 and a MAN railbus was acquired in 1958. Due to the scrapping of the pre-war railcars from 1961, new and used Uerdingen railbuses were purchased. They were single-engined, like the VT 95, but had normal buffers and screw couplings. In order to rationalise vehicle classes, the MAN railbuses were transferred to the Alster Northern Railway in 1968 .

The rolling stock used by the IR e and P-and L-Trein are diesel trains of the NMBS Class 41. InterCity traffic use AM80 break-motor coaches and locomotive-hauled trains (HLE21/27) with M5 or M6 Bilevel rail cars. The IR g and IR c use AM80 Break- railcars and the L-Trein service Antwerp-Lier-Aarschot-Leuven use railcars of type NMBS Class AM 86-89.

HAER drawing of Kay Moor headhouse The mine itself was a room and pillar mine that was first worked with mule-drawn railcars. Locomotives later supplanted the mules.

With the ongoing modernization and upcoming automation of Line 4, it is currently envisioned that the MP 73 will be replaced by renovated and shortened MP 89CC railcars.

Rare examples of extra-heavy elevators for 20-ton lorries, and even for railcars (like one that was used at Dnipro Station of the Kyiv Metro) also occur.

The elevated control cabin allowed the railcars to operate in forward and reverse modes, allowing for ease of operation. One example is preserved at the Cité du Train.

The bogie and running gear design had been closely supervised by NZR Chief Mechanical Engineer R.F. (Bob) Black,NZR CME Black to NZR GM 8-3-1957 and while there was significant sway at speed, it was nowhere as bad as the movement of the older Vulcan and Standard railcars cornering at speed. Unfortunately, the design of the power train could not be supervised.R.F. Black Following their introduction, the railcars suffered overheating from ballast dust and engine failure which led to railcars running 20 to 30 minutes late every two to three days and frequent internal and external fires on surrounding farmland and foliage, due to excessive carbon in the exhaust emissions, notably on the steep West Coast railway lines and the steep Scargill and Dashwood banks on the Picton line.Acting DME Christchurch to CME 11/2/1957 The crankcases were not strong enough to absorb the power of the two 210 hp Fiat engines that drove the railcars.

Station Operator Console When the CityRail brand was introduced the State Rail Authority was part way through taking delivery of 450 Tangara carriages. With these new carriages in service, the last single deck suburban sets were withdrawn in 1992, and the last U set interurban sets were withdrawn in 1996."U-Boats...A Tribute" Railway Digest November 1996 page 43"The Demise of the U Sets" Railway Digest March 1997 page 38 In February 1994, the first of 15 two- carriage Endeavour railcars was delivered."CityRail to have Explorers too" Railway Digest May 1992"Endeavours Enter Service Only Days After Launch" Railway Digest May 1994 These replaced Class 620/720 railcars, Class 900 railcars and locomotive hauled stock.

In the 1950s, the Railways Department made the decision to replace its remaining provincial expresses with railcar services. 35 RM class 88 seater railcars were supplied in 1955, and in November 1956, the Northland Express was replaced by these railcars. They did not operate entirely the same route as the Northland Express; at Otiria, instead of heading northeast on the Opua Branch, they ran northwest to Okaihau. From this time, Opua's passenger services were provided by mixed trains from Whangarei and they were not timetabled to provide a connection with the railcar service, although the Dargaville mixed continued to meet the railcars until March 1967, when passengers ceased to be carried on the Dargaville Branch.

The new daytime service proved more popular with the local population and allowed mixed trains to cease to operate along the route from 1 December 1975. The 88 seater railcars were mechanically deteriorating by this stage and last operated on 11 February 1978, but unlike most other provincial railcar services, the New Plymouth- Taumarunui run was not outright cancelled. There was sufficient traffic to justify a replacement carriage train, and its consist initially comprised carriages made from de-motorised 88 seater railcars; these carriages were known as "grassgrubs" in New Zealand railfan jargon due to their paint scheme. However, the railcars were not designed to be hauled as carriages and were soon replaced by ordinary passenger carriages.

The trains were manufactured in 1990 to replace aging KiHa 8000 series diesel railcars that entered service in 1965, in light of newer diesel railcars being manufactured by various companies.Railway Journal (issue 294) April 1991 edition, pages 116–119 Five cars were manufactured by Nippon Sharyo in 1991 based on the KiHa 85 series built by the same company and used by JR Central, and entered service the same year, replacing all remaining KiHa 8000 series diesel railcars on Northern Alps services. When they were in service with Meitetsu, they were used on the Northern Alps and Hida services. However, in 2000, a high-speed bus service connecting Nagoya Station and Takayama Station was introduced.

The railcars were much larger with a width of 2.50 m and had an electronic control panel control of the Simatic type, which could also be used to drive the train. The haulage of trailer cars was therefore no longer possible, so an air brake system was not needed. Electric door operation and regenerative braking were used. More deliveries followed with small structural changes: the eight railcars built in 1969 (numbers 90 to 97) were largely similar to the cars from 1966. The 13 railcars (98 to 110) supplied in 1973/1974 were no longer equipped with partitions, luggage nets and blinds on the windows and were not designed for 750 volt contact wire tension only as built.

With the closure of most of the Tua line in 2008 and the entirety of the Corgo and Tâmega lines in 2009, as of 2012 only two of the nine railcars built remain in use, although they are currently out of service for maintenance after the closure of the Metro de Mirandela. Given that funding for the Metro de Mirandela project had been given by the European Union the railcars were named Lisboa, Paris, Estrasburgo (Strasbourg) and Bruxelas (Brussels). The railcar Bruxelas was subsequently destroyed in an accident in January 2007. The other five railcars have been sold to Inca Rail in Peru and regauged to 914 mm (former 3 ft gauge).

Another gave partial satisfaction, but only E 3201 was fully satisfactory. The Midi also ordered railcars E ABD 1 to 30, which became Class Z 4900 of the SNCF.

The WAGR ADE class (also known as the Governor class) was a six member class of diesel railcars operated by the Western Australian Government Railways between 1937 and 1962.

The WAGR ADF class (also known as the Wildflower class) was a six member class of diesel railcars operated by the Western Australian Government Railways between 1949 and 1975.

Safety concerns have been associated with running high-speed railcars on old track network, with the inadvisability of reversing the vehicle, and with operating a propeller close to passengers.

Many of these remained in service with the China Railway after the end of the Pacific War. Ten Kiha40000 and ten Kiha42000 class railcars were delivered for suburban services.

Since 2003, the service has run via Velbert-Langenberg to Wuppertal Hbf. The services were initially operated with locomotives of class 212 with Silberling coaches; semi-fast trains were occasionally operated with class 430/830 electric railcars. The S9 services was initially operated with class 143 locomotives and x-Wagen (x-coaches) and later with class 420/421 sets. Since 2009, DB Regio has operated the services with class 422/432 railcars.

The railcars provided a considerable improvement in service and were very popular throughout their service duration. However, mechanical faults plagued the railcars and they were cancelled in July 1967. Mixed trains continued to operate to Whangarei until 21 June 1976, when the line became freight-only. However, declining freight volumes due to deregulation of the transport industry in 1983 meant that the line did not last much longer, and it closed on 1 November 1987.

SECN railcars and diesel snowplough The original Swiss built railcars ordered in 1922 remained in service until 1964. Initially there were two motor cars and two trailers with an extra motor car and two trailers being added in 1936. They were replaced by second hand SECN stock, nicknamed Navals, from other metre gauge lines, principally from the Ferrocarill de la Loma. These were six motor cars, numbered 3006–3011, and two trailers, numbered 6011–6012.

US Railcar offers diesel multiple units in both single- and bi-level versions, as well as unpowered railcars in single- and bi-level versions. The single-level DMUs have a passenger capacity of 94, while the bi-level models can carry 188 passengers. Both types are equipped with two Detroit Diesel engines for propulsion. The single-level railcars have a capacity of 102 people, while the bi-level cars can seat 218.

The new railcars were built for high-floor boarding, with only one door on each car able to serve low platforms. Along with the M1 series built for New York commuter service at the same time, these were among the first high-floor-only railcars in mainline service in the country. High-level platforms were constructed at several stations beginning in 1967. In May 1967, an initial service date of October 29, 1967 was announced.

To make things even worse, a highway was opened between İstanbul and Ankara decreasing travel by rail considerably. The railways needed to improve travel or they would lose a lot more customers to roads. The solution was the operation of a brand new train between the two cities: The Capital Express. For this train brand new, luxurious railcars would be needed so, TCDD ordered a batch of new TVS2000 railcars from TÜVASAŞ in 1991.

Where lines are electrified with overhead electric wiring double stacking is normally not possible. The mandatory requirement to fit under overhead wire for the traction engine electrical power supply sets the height limit for the railcars to allow for trailer transport. This requires a certain low building height which led to a minor size of wheels for the railcars. Hence increased degradation of bogeys by wheel wear-out is a cost disadvantage for the system.

The engine unit was ordered in April 1912 from Kerr, Stuart & Co.. It was of the same type used on steam railcars of the Great Western Railway. The engine unit was delivered to Melbourne on 24 November 1912. The body was constructed by the Victorian Railways at Newport Workshops. The body was supported on the power bogie by four vertical links in the same style as the Great Western Railway steam railcars.

Services operate between 6.30 AM and 7.30 PM on weekdays only.Seaford & Tonsley timetable Adelaide Metro 20 July 2014 Services were only extended to operate during weekday off-peak periods in 2004. Stations between Adelaide and Woodlands Park are also serviced by the Seaford line, and stations between Adelaide and Goodwood are also serviced by the Belair line. Prior to 2014, most trains were operated by 3000 class railcars augmented at times by 2000 class railcars.

On April 20, 2017, three workers were killed in an accident on the Englewood Railway in Woss, British Columbia when 11 runaway railcars full of logs crashed into them and their equipment while they were working on the line. The railcars had become decoupled at the top of the hill and as they rolled out-of-control down the hill they overpowered the derails which had been installed incorrectly and into rotting rail ties..

NSW TrainLink XPT at Sydney's Central station. In January 1978 the Public Transport Commission invited tenders for 25 high-speed railcars similar to the Prospector railcars delivered by Comeng to the Western Australian Government Railways in 1971. The tender allowed bidders to suggest alternative types of high-speed train. Comeng submitted a tender for a train based on the British Rail designed InterCity 125 which had entered service in the United Kingdom in October 1976.

The petroleum-electric drive control system invented in 1914 by Hermann Lemp, an engineer with GE, became the technological foundation of self-propelled gasoline railcars in the 1920s. In 1923 the Electro-Motive Company began production of self-propelled railcars, subcontracting bodies to the St. Louis Car Company, prime movers to the Winton Engine Company, and electrical equipment to General Electric. The Pullman Company was subsequently added as a subcontractor for car bodies.

In the summer of 1943, the CF AC applied to the department to reduce its services as some of its locomotives had been requisitioned by the MVA. Only two railcars were in use, one of which had been converted to run on gas. The other was one of the diesel engined railcars. A shortage of fuel prevented the others from being uses and a shortage of materials prevented further conversions to gas.

Only locos no 15 and 16 remain as museum vehicles and reserves. Further modernisation has taken place since 2003, with the purchase of low floored articulated railcars manufactured by Stadler.

Diesel railcars were rapidly introduced during the 1950s, and the A8s quickly became surplus to requirements. Withdrawals started in 1957, and the A8 was extinct by the end of 1960.

The Ashland Yard is a CTA rail yard for the Green Line in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. Currently, 5000-series railcars are stored here.

The 2000/2100 class were a class of diesel railcars operated by the State Transport Authority and its successors in Adelaide. They were built by Comeng, Granville in 1979–1980.

He left the school and hopped on freight railcars to leave the city, ending up at the age of 21 in the railyards of Cheyenne, Wyoming, by late August 1936.

Steam locomotives were used initially, but were replaced in 1954 by diesel railcars for passenger transport.: Op de Rails. Duparc, H.: Recente reisindrukken bij de Landsspoorweg in Suriname. 6-1974.

TCDD MT5700 is a series of 30 diesel railcars operated by the Turkish State Railways. They were produced by Fiat of Italy and are closely related to the slightly older MT5600.

Numerous Budd railcars are preserved either by museums or private owners, many of which run them in charter service. Their quality of construction and elegant design have made them highly prized.

The East Södermanland Railway has a railway museum here with one of the finest collections of 600 mm narrow-gauge passenger railcars anywhere. Kurt Tucholsky is buried in the town cemetery.

The railway operates a fleet of seventeen locomotives - nine diesel engines, six steam engines, and two relatively unusual 1,500 volt Alstom electric engines. Additionally, three heritage diesel railcars are in service.

The WAGR built much of its carriage and wagon stock at the Midland Railway Workshops. From the late 1930s, the WAGR operated diesel railcars such as the Governor and Wildflower classes.

Photographs show the use of DR class VT 75 that had replaced the battery railcars after the Second World War. Their use probably ended in 1954, with the introduction of railbuses.

On March 8, 2018, WMATA accepted delivery of its 500th 7000-series car. On February 26, 2020, WMATA accepted delivery of the final 7000-series railcars (7746-7747), completing the order.

Hawker Siddeley Canada was the Canadian unit of the Hawker Siddeley Group of the United Kingdom and manufactured railcars, subway cars, streetcars, aircraft engines and ships from the 1960s to 1980s.

It requires 16K RAM, cassette or disk, and a joystick. In the game, the player guides Cuthbert from Hell through levels of mines while avoiding railcars and the fireball-throwing devil.

To the east of this is a carriage yard for Euregiobahn railcars and for regional express sets. A branch line ran to the Aachen freight yard (Moltkebahnhof) from Rothe Erde station.

On the Waikaia Branch, the Model T Ford railcars were unpopular with the local residents and were neither successful themselves nor able to generate enough traffic to warrant replacement with a more popular carriage service. On the Wyndham Branch, they failed to achieve the desired success as well, and were unable to keep the section from Wyndham to Glenham open. The line to Glenham was closed on 14 July 1930, and the railcars were removed from service the next year. Their retirement meant that the numbers RM 4 and RM 5 were free to be re-used later – in 1936 they were allocated to the first two Wairarapa railcars, the second truly successful railcar type in New Zealand (after the Midland class).

The first single-unit diesel railcars in Ireland were introduced on the narrow-gauge County Donegal and Clogher Valley railways in the early 1930s. The Great Northern Railway and Northern Counties Committee followed shortly thereafter.Hirsch, pp. 141–42 However, early railcar trains did not exceed two cars in length.Doyle and Hirsch 1983, p. 131 Early in 1948, the GNR(I) ordered a fleet of 20 railcars, capable of operating in pairs with one or two intermediate trailer cars, from AEC. Introduced in 1950 and 1951, these vehicles drew on AEC's experience with the Great Western Railway's pre-war railcars. The cars combined AEC diesel engines (two per car, each of 125 bhp (93 kW)) with bodywork by Park Royal Vehicles.

In later years the railcars' already poor riding qualities had deteriorated, especially due to their light construction. By the late 1970s the Walkers had reached the end of their lives, with a number of railcars being withdrawn from service during 1978 and 1979. By 1980 only 82RM, 85RM and 91RM remained in service. The last 280 hp Walker railmotor ran on 17 September 1980, with 82RM operating the 08:00 service from Melbourne to Woodend and return.

The railcars were used only on the Rhodope Railway. In 1952, four more railcars of BDŽ class 05 04-07 were ordered with increased power. Earliest timetables for the vehicles are known only from the year 1969, where the first railcar now designated as 81-01 covered the connection between Varvara and Pazardzhik six times daily.Paul Engelbert: Schmalspurig durch Bulgarien, Stenvalls Verlag, Malmö 2002, , page 71 Much earlier, in 1963, the railcar 81-03 had already been retired.

In 1968 the "Blue Streak" refurbished railcars were introduced to the Wellington–Auckland run, having failed to raise patronage between Hamilton and Auckland. The success of the Blue Streaks led to the purchase of three new railcars in 1972. The Blue Streaks were then allocated to the Wellington—New Plymouth service. The introduction of the Japanese-built DJ class diesels from that year in the South Island accelerated the demise of steam, replacing the remaining steam locomotives.

One STB- und two by ODEG used Stadler Regio-Shuttle RS1 at Meiningen station It has a total of 37 Stadler Regio-Shuttle RS1 lightweight railcars, of which 5 were purchased by ODEG in 2016 with the operating numbers VT 141 to 145. The railcars have 71 seats and 77 standing places in 2nd class. The trains are equipped with WC, heating and air conditioning. They are also equipped with a ticket vending machine and bicycle parking spaces.

Two were built, RM 20 and RM 21, and they ran for five years from 1936 to 1941 before being replaced by larger Vulcan railcars. They operated primarily on the Midland Line and the Greymouth-Hokitika portion of the Ross Branch These kinds of vehicles were known in some other countries by a variety of other names, including "railbuses" and "railmotors". However, such self- propelled passenger vehicles were known in New Zealand as "railcars" from the late-1920s onwards.

The same years there was also a branch line from Rakkestad Station to Rakkestad Tegelverk.Bjerke & Holom: 54 Heia Station was typical for new stations established in 1928, with a simple shed and platform near a level crossing Railcars were introduced on the Eastern Line in 1928. This was a move to make the train more competitive against buses and trucks, which had better surface coverage than the train. The railcars would initially stop at request, normally at level crossings.

Monument commemorating the world speed record Various high-speed tests with electrical locomotives and railcars were carried out between 1901 and 1904 on the Royal Prussian Military Railway between Marienfelde and Zossen. These vehicles operated with three-phase alternating current of 10 kilovolts and variable frequency. The power supply was carried by three overhead lines placed vertically. On 27 October 1903, the trial AEG railcars ran at a new world record speed of 210.2 km/h.

The NZR RM class 88-seaters were a class of railcar used in New Zealand. New Zealand Government Railways (NZR) classed them RM (Rail Motor), the notation used for all railcars, numbering the 35 sets from RM100 to RM134. They were the most numerous railcars in NZR service, and were known unofficially as "Articulated", "Eighty Eights", "Twinsets", "Drewrys" or "Fiats". Their purchase and introduction saw the demise of steam-hauled provincial passenger trains and mixed trains.

All 55s were powered by Midewest four-cylinder petrol engines, while the 75s used the more powerful Winton Model 110 six-cylinder engines. From 1934, the SAR began re-powering the 55s with Gardner six- cylinder diesel engines but, as a result of World War II, some railcars were not converted until after 1945. At the same time, multiple-unit controls were fitted to the Brill railcars. In the 1950s, the 75s were re-powered with Cummins diesel engines.

Since the beginning of operations until the end of the Second World War, the AKN had a total of 28 steam locomotives, which handled all traffic until the arrival of the first railcars, built in 1930. Two more railcars were added before the end of the war. Five Esslingen railbuses were introduced for passenger services in 1951, which operated until 1963. From 1956 to 1963, MAN delivered ten more railbuses and an additional four Uerdingen railbuses were added.

New passenger coaches were introduced to capture the niche market with a high quality of services. In the beginning, value migration was created to absorb middle-class passenger mobility. The next step of development is preparing to adapt the newest technologies for diesel electric railcars on the medium distance railway corridors. These new technologies are upgraded from the development of commuter electric railcars, using lightweight stainless steel car bodies and modern AC traction control with IGBT VVVF inverters.

Nearly identical to the M4s, these cars were completed at Hornell, New York with body shells from Mafersa. Morrison Knudsen was the last American builder of railcars, and heavily underbid on contracts, including on this contract, to gain a large share of the market. Morrison Knudsen had almost no experience in the design of passenger railcars, and did not build a prototype for the M6. As a result, the first cars were rejected by Metro-North.

Railcars Nos. 22 and 23 ascending the mountain in 2003 The railcars were diesel-electric, using a standard industrial generator set mounted at the downhill end of each vehicle. This powered an induction motor through electronic controllers. The generators had a Cummins engine rated at which was run at a constant 1800 rpm and produced 440 V AC at 60 Hz. Unlike any other train on the system, the driver sat at the front when climbing the mountain.

The P865s were the first urban rail vehicles to run in Los Angeles County since the Pacific Electric Railway ceased operations in 1961. The original 54 railcars, numbered 100-153, were ordered at a cost of $1.17 million each. Prior to entering service, all of the railcars were christened after various cities in Los Angeles County; it was in the same style as christening a ship before being launched. Examples include Long Beach (Car 100) and Bell (Car 105).

In 1948, the FMSR was renamed the Malayan Railways. The railways had been devastated by the Japanese invasion of Malaya, and efforts were taken to rebuild the two main lines, but many branch lines were abandoned in the process. The MR began to modernise the equipment with the ordering of diesel locomotives and railcars to replace steam hauled services, and the first diesel locomotive entered service in 1957. The railcars entered service in 1960, initially on short haul services.

The R101 used the Beardmore Tornado aero diesel engine, with two of the five engines reversible by an adjustment to the camshaft. This engine was developed from an engine used in railcars.

An inert retarder holds a cut of classified railcars to keep them from rolling out of a yard.U.S. Federal Railroad Administration, Washington, D.C. (1983). "Definitions: Inert retarder." Railroad Noise Emission Compliance Regulations.

Again, due to economical difficulties class 207M never went into serious production. After 2001 a larger contingent of railcars/DMUs went into production and they were based on newer projects than 207M.

At the point of introduction, they displaced a single Class 153 DMU that was previously allocated to the branch line. By December 2009, the 200,000th passenger had been carried by the railcars.

This is a list of British Rail diesel multiple-unit train classes. For a historical overview of diesel multiple-unit train development in Great Britain, see British railcars and diesel multiple units.

Apollo 2400 DMU in service in Costa Rica Costa Rica has purchased several Apolo 2400 series DMU railcars from the former narrow gauge operator in Spain, which are run in commuter service.

Despite this proposal, the Talgo railcars remain at the Amtrak facility in Beech Grove. Michigan was also involved in a joint purchase with other states to purchase the new Siemens Charger locomotives.

Because the three railcars weren't enough to completely replace the slower steam trains a fourth railcar of the same series as the first three was bought in 1953. It received a bigger cargo hold and was classified as BDhe 2/4 and got the number 4. To add to the passenger carrying capabilities of the line even more a class BDhe 4/4 from the same makers arrived in 1964 and, again from SLM / BBC, in 1986 two railcars (BDhe 4/4), numbered 21 and 22, arrived with single end driving trailers (Bt) numbered 31 and 32 which were nearly identical as the railcar 15. Although the railcars are capable of working as single units they are normally to be found working with the trailers. On the Arth section class BDhe 2/4 railcars, built by SLM / SAAS and numbered 11 and 12 arrived in 1949, being joined by No.13 in 1954 and No.14 in 1967. These were joined by class BDhe 4/4 No.15 in 1982.

The vehicles of the BDŽ class 05 04-07 (later class 82 01-04) were four-axle Diesel–mechanical railcars for the 760 mm narrow-gauge railways of the Bulgarian State Railways (BDŽ).

Nalawort was opened in the 1920s as a stopping place for rail motors, suggesting it was opened when the Brill Model 75 class railcars entered service. The station closed on 12 December 1945.

The Regional-Express service on the Nuremberg–Neukirchen–Weiden–Neustadt (Waldnaab)/Schwandorf(–Regensburg) route are operated by class 612 (Regioswinger) diesel railcars. These trains are coupled/split in Neukirchen (b. Sulzbach-Rosenberg) station.

These trains had custom railcars, built by TÜVASAŞ, all painted blue with a blue painted DE 24000 series locomotive pulling the train. The current remnant is just a branding with regular rolling stock.

After the Second World War the Deutsche Reichsbahn gave them the designation DR Class 90.3. On the introduction into service of new ČSD Class M 131.1 railcars, these locomotives were retired in 1949.

From the 1930s, F class locomotives were replaced by 55 and 75 class Brill railcars on lightly patronized routes. They continued to see extensive service on popular routes until their displacement in 1955/56 by the diesel multiple unit Redhen railcars. Some engines were retained for shunting duties at Port Adelaide and Mile End with F225, the final member of the class being condemned in 1969.F255 National Railway Museum The locomotives had saturated steam boilers and were considered attractive.

Following closely on their locomotive developments, Sentinel also produced steam railcars. These were convenient for lightly constructed railways as they were much lighter than conventional locomotive-hauled trains. Even compared to earlier steam railmotors, such as the GWR vertical-boilered examples, the Sentinel design of a lightweight water-tube boiler and a smaller geared steam motor was yet lighter. Petrol railcars and railbuses were appearing by this time, although they were limited in power and so weight, size and carrying capacity.

In December 2000, Westrail awarded a contract to United Goninan, Broadmeadow for nine railcars to replace the 1971 built WAGR WCA/WCE class railcars. Seven were for The Prospector and two for the AvonLink service.New 'world-class' Goldfields and Avon trains move closer Government of Western Australia 7 December 2000"WA Short Lines" Railway Digest February 2001 The first entered service on 28 June 2004.Prospector enters new era The Golden Mail 2 July 2004 Power is provided by Cummins engines.

IÉ introduced 17 new suburban railcars in 1994 as the 2600 Class (built by Tokyu Car, Japan) for the Kildare 'Arrow' suburban service. Further additions to the fleet were made in 1997 (twenty-seven 2700 Class, Alstom built, now withdrawn), 2000 (twenty 2800 Class, Tokyu Car built) and 2003 (eighty 29000 class, CAF built). When the 29000 Class was introduced all Irish railcars were re-branded from 'Arrow' to 'Commuter'. A further nine 4-car 29000 Class trainsets arrived in 2005.

Consequently, diesel-powered Regio-Shuttle railcars, operated by the HzL, took over the operation of all traffic on the Trossingen Railway in 2003. Some of the services run via Villingen-Schwenningen and Donaueschingen to Bräunlingen. The catenary has not been needed in scheduled operations since Friday, 11 July 2003 and the electrical infrastructure is now only used in museum operations. However, two vintage railcars were temporarily restored to scheduled operations from December 2004 because the Ringzug was short of rolling stock.

Siemens Venture is a brand of locomotive-hauled railroad passenger cars built by Siemens Mobility. They are based on the earlier Siemens Viaggio Comfort railcars in use in Europe, but adapted for the North American market. The cars entered service with Brightline in 2018. Railcars are currently on order for the US states of California, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin for use on their state-supported corridors operated by Amtrak and Canada's Via Rail for use on its Québec City–Windsor Corridor.

The order for the railcars never happened. But both Kolzam and ZNTK Poznań had drawn up plans and began a full structural project to create the railcar, and built the Kolzam 208M which has never been used. By the end of 2000 after the restructure of the financing of the PKP for regional transportation, which created the Przewozy Regionalne which allowed the company to use finances for rolling stock. Which meant the company chose to order one, two and three unit railcars.

Experiments with battery-electric railcars were conducted from around 1890 in Belgium, France, Germany and Italy. In the US, railcars of the Edison-Beach type, with nickel-iron batteries were used from 1911. In New Zealand, a battery-electric Edison railcar operated from 1926 to 1934. The Drumm nickel-zinc battery was used on four 2-car sets between 1932 and 1946 on the Harcourt Street Line in Ireland and British Railways used lead–acid batteries in a railcar in 1958.

The Endeavour is a diesel multiple unit train operated by NSW TrainLink on passenger rail services in New South Wales, Australia on the Hunter Valley, Main Western, Southern Highlands and Illawarra lines. They are mechanically identical to the Xplorers. All 30 carriages were built by ABB Transportation in Dandenong, Victoria. Fourteen two-carriage sets were ordered in April 1992 to replace Class 620/720 railcars, DEB set railcars and locomotive hauled stock, with the first entering service in March 1994.

The ability of Otahuhu to handle diesel-electric locomotive and railcar repair work was much improved in 1962 with the opening of a new Diesel Shop. Prior to entering service, many DA, DB, DH, and DX class locomotives first made a visit to Otahuhu for preparation. 88-seater railcars were also maintained, repaired and overhauled in this new facility. In 1971, the Silver Star carriages were tested and commissioned in the Diesel Shop, as were the Silver Fern railcars the following year.

Their low weight made them suitable to run on any railway line. The vehicles also had two driver cabins, one on each end of the car, which reduced the time of manoeuvres at termini stations, particularly in urban services. Railcars were built in the FIAT factories of Turin, Decauville and Córdoba. Although the first railcars were manufactured in Italy and France, most of them were made in Argentina, in a factory specially designed for that assignment located in Ferreyra, Córdoba and named "Materfer".

The law, which protects the public's right to access Montana's rivers and streams from public bridges, was widely viewed as one of the most important bills passed in the 2009 legislature. Since his election in 2008, Blewett has advocated for the removal of BNSF railcars from Montana's Missouri River corridor. His efforts have been supported by the editorial board of the Great Falls Tribune. In April 2010, BNSF indicated it would remove half of the stored railcars from the Missouri River Corridor.

VT 153 of the EVB Because in the early 1990s hardly any other railcars were available, several private railways also bought railcars of this type. In 1993/94 Eisenbahnen und Verkehrsbetriebe Elbe-Weser (EVB) took delivery of five 628.4/928.4 sets, in 1994 Frankfurt-Königsteiner Eisenbahn (FKE) bought one 628.4/928.4 and, in 1995, two 628.9/629s. In 1995 Westerwaldbahn GmbH took over the Daadetalbahn line with one DB 628.4/928.4 (628 677); it added a 628.4 from FKE in 2008.

In 1953, a fifth railcar, no 30, was similarly rebuilt. For use on the Chur-Arosa-Bahn, which was operated by a direct current system until 1997, rebuilt railcars nos 30–34 were equipped during the rebuild with regenerative brakes. At a later stage, the retention of the step controllers enabled them also to be fitted with multiple unit control. The other railcars to undergo rebuilding, nos 35 to 38, were only given electrical equipment for the Bernina Railway, and no air compressor.

The three types of Bluebird railcars in May 1987 on a charter trip at Telford, South Australia: 250 class power car 256Kookaburra, 100 class trailer cars 101 Grebe and 105 Snipe and 280 class powered baggage car 282 Preserved Bluebird no. 257 at the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide The Bluebird railcars were built to provide modern air-conditioned services on the country passenger rail system where the patronage did not warrant the use of locomotive hauled passenger trains, and to replace the ageing fleet of Brill railcars introduced in 1924. In December 1948, tenders were called for 30 sets of engines, gearboxes, electrical assemblies and compressors. The contract for the engines was awarded to Cummins while the contract for the eight-speed gearboxes was awarded to Cotal of France.

The 660 & 760 Class railcars are a Diesel Multiple Unit train built by the New South Wales Government Railways (NSWGR) and used in the latter stages of their life by CityRail, primarily on its Hunter Valley line. The trains have since been phased out in favour of the newer Endeavour railcar model. The 660/760 railcars were converted by NSWGR from earlier 600/700 Class vehicles between 1973 and 1975. The 600 Class railcars, built in 1949–1950, were not compatible electrically with the later 900/950 and 620 Class diesel trains. In 1972, NSWGR purchased 22 Cummins 14-litre diesel engines and Twin Disc hydraulic transmissions with the intention of re-engining the entire ten units of the class and making them compatible with their later sisters.

The vehicles of the BDŽ class 05 01-03 (later class 81 01-03) were four-axle Diesel–mechanical railcars designed for the 760 mm narrow-gauge railways of the Bulgarian State Railways (BDŽ).

The remaining steam and diesel locomotives operate occasional services. One of the Bhm1/2 diesel railcars is preserved in the Museo Europeo dei Trasporti Ogliari in Ranco on the Italian shore of Lake Maggiore.

Each trainset is composed by 2 cars: a railcar (EN 300) and a control car (RN 300). The numbers are EN 301–307 for the railcars and RN 301–307 for the control cars.

A few battery electric railcars and locomotives were used in the twentieth century, but generally the use of battery power was not practical except in underground mining systems. See Accumulator car and Battery locomotive.

The Kimball Yard is a CTA rail yard for the Brown Line in the Albany Park neighborhood on the Northwest side of Chicago, Illinois. Currently, 2600-series and 3200-series railcars are stored here.

In 2019, upgrades are scheduled to be completed that will allow V/Locity railcars to travel to Warrnambool. These upgrades include new signalling, level crossing upgrades and a crossing loop at Boorcan, near Camperdown.

During 2019, Stadler Rail was reportedly making efforts to capitalise on smaller operators, driven by trends towards regionalisation and open access operation, to secure business for its railcars, light rail vehicles and multiple units.

"CountryLink Loco-Hauled Services Cancelled" Railway Digest May 2000 page 7 After a short break, the service resumed with Xplorer railcars. As of May 2015, it operates to Broken Hill on Mondays, returning on Tuesdays.

Unfortunately, they did not prove as successful or as popular as hoped, so, after their trial period, steam-hauled carriage trains were reinstated for all services and the railcars were sent to work in Southland.

In the 1920s, NZR began experimenting with railcars as a way of replacing mixed trains that carried both passengers and goods and ran too slow schedules as they had to load and unload freight regularly.

The train was later replaced by railcars, however no passenger service is provided today except south of Oruro with the Wari Wari del Sur running several times a week and serving several stations en route.

The Skokie Shops are CTA rail shops located at Oakton Street and Hamlin Avenue in Skokie, Illinois. Currently, The Skokie Shops are used for Rail maintenance, inspections, cleaning, repair work, and overhaul of CTA railcars.

He was the brother of Milo Hastings and grandson of Pardee Butler. \--- John R. Hayden was the assistant to Mr. Engel. Various cargo was carried by the float service. The railcar barges held fourteen railcars.

FER has operated a total of 29 ALn 668 railcars built between 1959 and 1983. These are of the types 668.1000, 668.1700, 668.1900 and 668.3000. A number of these have been taken out of service.

Until the Hessentag 2011, all platforms were converted, usable for three-car trains of 75 m in length and a platform height of 80 cm. The new U5 railcars were first used on this route.

2014, the museum was completely reopened to the public. Historic railcars and locomotives are settled in a trainshed across from the newly constructed terminal building, and are accessible by a footbridge across the railway station.

The veneer mill used surplus World War I tanks to haul logs out of the woods.Jones 1980 p.244 The Phillips shop built internal combustion railcars numbered 3 and 4 in the spring of 1925.

In 1929, the M&StL; began acquiring a number of gas- electric railcars—self-propelled vehicles that included compartments for baggage/express and mail. Some of the gas-electrics also included passenger compartments, and all were able to tow additional passenger and express cars as necessary. Soon, the railcars provided nearly all of the railroad's meager passenger service. The railroad also purchased two Budd RDC's in 1957 for Minneapolis – Des Moines service, but the cars proved unsuccessful and they were sold the following year.

Reception hall of Ohlsdorf station, the starting point of the line Class 474 EMU in Poppenbüttel station at the end of the line Under the difficult conditions the line—originally single track—was completed and authorised to operate by the state police. Temporary operations began on 15 January 1918, but operated with petrol-powered railcars, rather than electric railcars. Not enough copper was available for overhead wires. The remaining work was completed on 10 July 1920, six months after the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles.

It never recovered from this and was withdrawn completely in 1948. Several years later the Rimutaka Tunnel was opened, bringing an end to the mixed trains that had been plying the Wairarapa Line and the withdrawal of the Wairarapa-type railcars. Thereafter the new twin-set railcars provided the only passenger service to Mangamahoe and remained in service until after Mangamahoe was closed to passenger traffic in 1969. The 1959 railcar timetable lists Mangamahoe as a "stops if required" station for both northbound and southbound services.

On the Melbourne suburban network Electric Multiple Units were introduced speeding up services. Experiments were also made with various diesel and petrol railcars for use smaller branch lines, with the DERM being the most successful, remaining in service from 1928 to 1991. A fleet of Walker railcars was also introduced in the 1950s, along with Z type saloon carriage stock for both intra and interstate trains. By the 1980s country passenger services were run down, and older wooden rolling stock was now approaching their use by date.

In August 1985, Westrail awarded Comeng, Bassendean a contract for five diesel railcars, three ADP carriages with driving cabs and two ADQ trailer carriages, using a similar body shell and interior fitout to the New South Wales XPT carriages."Western Australia" Railway Digest September 1985 page 279 Each carriage was powered by a Cummins KTA19 engine coupled to a Voith transmission. They usually operate as a four carriage set. In July 2003, the railcars were painted in a new livery in line with the formation of Transwa.

The shortcomings of mixed trains for passenger travel led the New Zealand Railways Department to investigate railcar technology in the early 20th century. Overseas designs could not be easily adapted to New Zealand owing to its rugged conditions, narrow gauge track, and small loading gauge. Early railcars trials, such as the RM class Model T Ford railbuses, proved unsatisfactory. When successfully introduced from the 1930s, railcars primarily replaced unprofitable provincial carriage trains, and some mixed services in regions such as the West Coast and Taranaki.

The station was opened by the Royal Württemberg State Railways on 11 October 1847 along with the Fils Valley Railway from Plochingen to Süßen. On 21 April 2004, an inspection train running from Ulm to Ludwigshafen collided with a train of empty regional railcars. The driver of the railcars was killed and the six members of the inspection train were injured. From August 2010 to June 2012, the station was renovated and made accessible for the disabled with the provision of two lifts and a control system.

Ganz & Cie., Weitzer Janos Rt., and Daimler-Benz, which fell out of competition. At first, two railcars with petrol engine and mechanical transmission were built, but they did not fit the demands. Ganz & Cie., though very inventive on other subjects, choose a conventional solution, and in 1904 installed a steam engine instead of the petrol motor. This type of self-propelled railcars became class CmotVIIIa and CmotVIIIb of Hungarian State Railways (MÁV). Weitzer's Company was more innovative (Johann Weitzer himself had died in 1902).

The Wairarapa railcars hold the fastest speeds for operations over the Rimutaka Incline. Passenger services were previously slow trains operated by the H class locomotives specially built to operate on the Fell mountain railway system employed on the Incline. The Wairarapa railcars were designed to operate unaided on the Incline, and as they were lighter and more nimble, they achieved speeds well in excess of any service operated by an H class (or any of the few other engines occasionally permitted to work on the Incline).

Four of the nine Vulcan railcars are preserved, one by the Plains Vintage Railway and three by the Ferrymead Railway. Four of the six Standard railcars are also preserved, two by the Silver Stream Railway, one by the Pahiatua Railcar Society (their active railcar), and one by private interests in the Waikato stored at the Glenbrook Vintage Railway. All three Silver Ferns are currently withdrawn awaiting a decision about their future. One (RM24) has been leased to Dunedin Railways for use on trips out of Dunedin.

The GSR introduced four Sentinel steam railcars in 1928 with the power unit similar to the GSR Class 280, operating range of over and a passenger capacity for 55. All were withdrawn in the early 1940s. A subsequent order from Claytons in 1928 were less successful and withdrawn in 1932, a model exists in the Fry railway collection. Four Drewry petrol powered railcars of which two were narrow gauge were also introduced around 1927, with all four also being withdrawn by the mid 1940s.

Linea 3 covers runs a total distance of 7.5 kilometers, part of which is underground and part is elevated. The line is supported by eight rail stations. Some of the 26 railcars have arrived and have passed on track testing as of August 2020, though not all of the railcars had arrived at that time. A Metrorrey spokesperson says that a new opening date for Linea 3 is February 2021, though he also noted that the Corona virus has played no role in the most recent timetable.

Once the practicality of railcars had been demonstrated – the two Midland, seven Wairarapa, and six Standard railcars having been built and proved in service – the Red Terror had served its primary purpose. Also, Mr Mackley retired on 31 January 1940. The Red Terror was rebuilt in 1941 into an overhead inspection platform vehicle, and reclassified PW 2. Based at Otira, it was used until 1996 for maintaining the 1500 V DC overhead for the electrified section of railway between Arthur's Pass and Otira, including the Otira Tunnel.

Because of their Japanese origin, they became known as the Japanese Train. They were often assigned to the Santiago–Chillán day service (398 km) which took five hours until they were replaced by the second hand Spanish UTS-444 electric units in 2002. The AEZ railcars were often used on the Santiago–Talcahuano service (Automotive to Talcahuano) from 1994 until the suspension of this service in 2007. The AEZ railcars were used on the Santiago–Talca route and on infrequent runs to Osorno and Temuco.

As more Redhens were constructed to replace them on the metropolitan lines, the last Brill railcars were withdrawn in October 1971. Five Brills have been preserved. Railcars 8 (55) and 41 (75) are at the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide, 106 (75) and trailer car 305 are at the Pichi Richi Railway in operational condition. SteamRanger has 60 (75) which was converted from condemned Brill trailer 207 and also 43 (75) which was donated to the society at no cost long-time ARHS member John Wilson.

In 1958 the Ministry of Transport of Argentina signed an agreement with Fiat Ferroviaria to acquire 210 brand-new railcars. Those machines were formed by 2 units powered by a FIAT diesel engine at 660 HP. The railcars could reach speeds of 115 km/h. Their low weight made them suitable to run on any railway line. The vehicles also had two driver cabins, one on each end of the car, which reduced the time of manoeuvres at termini stations, particularly in urban services.

This difference in height was or is compensated until today by the installation of new escalators by ramps. Since the U2 motor coaches could not be waived for the time being, they were rebuilt to the type U2h. Here, the tread was set from 68 to 87 cm high, leaving a level of 10 cm to the interior of the vehicle in the door entrance area. The U4 railcars and the U5 railcars acquired since 2008, on the other hand, are barrier-free on the converted stations.

In 1936, these services were augmented by a Leyland diesel railbus service that ran from Hokitika to Greymouth, Christchurch, and briefly Reefton. In the early 1940s, the Vulcan railcars were introduced and they provided a twice- daily service between Ross and Christchurch via Hokitika. The mixed trains continued to operate until 1967, and all passenger services to Hokitika ceased when the Vulcan railcars stopped running past Greymouth in 1972. Since then, the line to Hokitika has been freight only with traffic primarily coming from Westland Milk Products.

The 2000/2100 class were self-propelled diesel railcars operated by the State Transport Authority and its successors on the Adelaide rail network. The body shell design was based on the Budd SPV-2000, Metroliner and Amfleet cars but the 2000 class railcars have a slightly different curve to the Amfleet. Twelve 2000 powercars and eighteen 2100 class trailer cars were built.New Generation of Trains on the way Among Ourselves issue 193 June 1978 pages 12/13 The bodyshells were built by Comeng, Granville.

After 1945 the GNR(I) found itself in a poor financial position as a result of the deprivations of World War II and increased competition from road traffic. It looked to diesel power as a way to streamline costs and bring them back into profitability. Along with diesel locomotives, railcars offered a cheaper and more flexible means of traction than steam-hauled coaches. As a result, in June 1950 the GNR(I) introduced the first of 20 diesel-mechanical railcars (numbers 600–619) ordered from AEC Ltd.

In 1949 the CFBS acquired some second hand steam locomotives after the closure of the Réseau Albert. Three second-hand railcars were acquired in 1955 and a new railcar was acquired in 1957, along with two second hand diesel locomotives. A third diesel locomotive was acquired in 1960. In 1971 a pair of De Dion-Bouton type OC1 bogie railcars (X157 and X158) were acquired from the Réseau Breton (RB), having been previously used on the Chemin de Fer des Côtes-du-Nord (CdN).

The Wairarapa Mails demise was primarily due to the introduction of the railcars and would have likely come about sooner were it not for the traffic boom associated with World War II. After the war, AB class locomotives were introduced in both the Hutt Valley and Wairarapa and this modernised the train, but coal shortages in 1944 had led to the service's reduction to running thrice weekly. From this point, the railcars came to be dominant and they fully replaced the Mail in 1948.

It never recovered from this and was withdrawn completely in 1948. Several years later the Rimutaka Tunnel was opened, bringing an end to the mixed trains that had been plying the Wairarapa Line and the withdrawal of the Wairarapa-type railcars, and ushering in the era of the twin-set railcars. The 1959 railcar timetable lists Dalefield as a "stops if required" station for both northbound and southbound services. The station remained open to both passenger and freight traffic until its closure on 1 February 1981.

In 1958 the Ministry of Transport of Argentina signed an agreement with Fiat Ferroviaria to acquire 210 brand-new railcars. Those machines were formed by 2 units powered by a FIAT diesel engine at 660 HP. The railcars could reach speeds of 115 km/h. Their low weight made them suitable to run on any railway line. The vehicles also had two driver cabins, one on each end of the car, which reduced the time of manoeuvres at termini stations, particularly in urban services.

Diesel displaced coal and fuel oil for steam-powered vehicles in the latter half of the 20th century, and is now used almost exclusively for the combustion engines of self-powered rail vehicles (locomotives and railcars).

The only powered railcars in use during Period 2 were inspection cars. There was no separate classification system for these; instead, they were classified the same way as locomotives, using the type designation "I" (from "Inspection").

The bodyshells of the DEB sets were very similar to the two-car 600/700 class railcars that had entered service in 1949. However as they were intended for long distance services they were air-conditioned.

In 2008, Tod met Ashley Mae when they were both teenagers, and lived in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Ashley went to college in Colorado, and Tod frequently hopped railcars to get across the country to see her.

In 2019 all three railcars were transferred to Dunedin for evaluation at the Hillside Workshops, although RM 24 may be transferred to the North Island. RM 30 has corrosion in the steel frames around window openings.

The operations centre in Limburg closed in mid-2015 and subsequently Vectus Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH was dissolved. All railcars were taken over by Hessische Landesbahn and they are only maintained occasionally in the Limburg workshop since 2015.

The directives cover diesel engines, spark-ignition engines, constant-speed engines, railcars, locomotives and inland waterway vessels. In Europe, the regulations are specifically clarified on the mobility by using the term "non-road mobile machinery" (NRMM).

The class was intended for the far more extensive fast passenger trains that existed in the South Island before the introduction of 88-seater railcars in 1956, and the decline in long- distance rail passenger services.

In early 2020 the railroad operators requested $25M from the county government for infrastructure improvements. The rail had to turn away freight business because tracks and bridges needed reinforcement to support the weight of modern railcars.

"Bluebird" Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin volume 737 March 1999 pages 85-86"Kestral returns to operation" Railway Digest May 2013 pages 52-53 In 1997, 15 of the railcars were sold to Bluebird Rail Operations, a business of C.O.C. Limited. In May 1998 Bluebird Rail Operations commenced operating the Barossa Wine Train from Adelaide to Tanunda via the Barossa Valley line with three refurbished Bluebirds (102, 251 and 252). The venture ceased in April 2000, after which the railcars were stored at the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide."The Barossa Wine Train in retrospect" Railway Digest October 2003 pages 33-35Wine train plan derailed Adelaide Advertiser 10 November 2006 In 1998 another four (106, 107, 254 and 255) were refurbished and hired to V/Line for Gippsland line services from Melbourne to Warragul and Traralgon."More Bluebirds Head East" Catch Point issue 129 January 1999 page 5"Rolling Stock Alterations" Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin March 1999 page 18"Bluebird Railcars" Railway Digest January 1999 page 35 Following mechanical failures while being trialled on the Gippsland line, the railcars were returned in June 1999.

Redevelopment activities at the rail site began in 2007, with a focus on supporting logistics and manufacturing activities. In 2010 the Port entered into a partnership with Watco Companies, a short-rail line developer and operator, which established the San Antonio Central Rail Road (SACRR). The switching operation transfers railcars from Union Pacific and BNSF Railway trains outside the Railport (from the adjacent South San Antonio Classification Yard, operation by Union Pacific) and relocates them to third- party logistics and manufacturing facilities operated by the Port’s tenant customers. As part of the 2010 agreement, Watco also built an additional four miles (6.4 kilometers) of track within the Railport—allowing the property to grow its capacity four-fold, from a maximum of 5,000 railcars that could be processed per year to its current annual capacity of 20,000 railcars.

Electric and diesel railcars and multiple units were designated by prefix letters ET and VT, respectively (from German Elektrischer Triebwagen and Verbrennungsmotortriebwagen). The numbering schemes for those were originally derived from the numbering scheme for passenger carriages. However, in 1940 a system using class and ordering numbers, like for locomotives, was introduced for electric multiple units. A plan to introduce a similar system for diesel railcars and multiple units was put on hold due to World War II; in post-war Western Germany (FRG), the Deutsche Bundesbahn eventually followed through while in Eastern Germany (GDR), the Deutsche Reichsbahn continued to use the pre-war system for pre-war vehicles while starting off several new numbering plans for post-war units over the years, thus ending up with a hodge-podge of conflicting schemes for diesel railcars and multiple units until 1970.

From almost the beginning the railcars faced mechanical problems, with cooling being the primary issue, along with crankcase failures and electrical fires towards the end of their lives. Although modifications were made they continued to have a reputation for unreliability throughout their career, frequently having to run with one motor isolated. The 1950s was a period of increased prosperity and saw massive increases in the numbers of private motorcars, along with improvements to roading such as tar sealing of main highways, and the construction of new roads such as the Auckland Harbour Bridge. While the delay in introducing the railcars on the Rotorua route (1959) and the difficult geography of the Northland and Bay of Plenty service meant poor patronage, the railcars stabilised NZRs long-distance rail patronage at 3 million passengers annually from 1959–1964.

Much of FS's fleet was destroyed at the end of World War II, which meant the company needed a replacement diesel railcar. The essential characteristic of the new rolling stock was the provision of the drive motor under the floor, so as to leave the maximum space available for passengers. The railcars RALn 60, built for the modernization of passenger service on the lines of the Sicilian FS Narrow gauge railway, were tested from January 1950 and was the start of the long line of railcars built by Fiat from the war until the first half of the nineties. Although the behavior of new railcars was overall satisfactory, availability and maintenance costs were still very far from the objectives considered within the Service Material and Traction for FS, which had long aspired to the creation of a standard Italian railcar standard.

Passing sidings were built in several places at about the same time, allowing trains to pass at various points on the mountainside. Trains could previously pass only at the Mountain View siding, permitting only three trains a day up the mountain. Eight trains per day became possible with the new equipment and sidings (two additional larger railcars were delivered from SLM; Unit 24 in 1984 and the last, Unit 25, in 1989). Rolling stock on the M&PPRy; consists of four 214-passenger articulated Swiss-built railcars, four 78-passenger Swiss-built railcars, four GE built locomotives (one being rebuilt in 2017 to modern specifications), one snowplow (#22 - built upon the frame of a GE locomotive), one 23-passenger diesel railcar (#7), one steam locomotive (#4 - built by Baldwin), a Winter-Weiss "streamliner" coach, and an original Wasson wooden coach (#104).

With the expansion of the railway network from the middle of the 19th century a large number of Ausbesserungswerke sprang up in the entire German speaking world. During the transition from maintenance-intensive steam traction to the more maintenance-friendly electric and diesel locomotives, as well as the increasing rationalisation of workshop operations, the number of Ausbesserungswerke needed could be reduced significantly. Today the Deutsche Bahn only retains the Ausbesserungswerke at Neumünster (coaches), Cottbus (diesel locomotives), Chemnitz (components), Paderborn-Nord (goods wagons), Witten (turnout works), Bremen (diesel locomotives), Kassel (diesel railcars), Krefeld-Oppum (electric railcars), Dessau (electric locomotives), Fulda (components), Nuremberg (electric railcars), Meiningen (historic vehicles, goods wagons and snow clearing equipment), Eberswalde (goods wagons), Zwickau (goods wagons) and Wittenberge (coaches). In addition, there are Hauptwerkstätten for the Berlin S-Bahn at Berlin-Schöneweide and the Hamburg S-Bahn at Hamburg-Ohlsdorf.

See NI Railways Class 70 led by power car 72 on an NIR "Sealink" liveried train at Castlerock on 11th August 1984 While Diesel Railcars and Multiple Units (DMU) had been experimented with by the NCC, the UTA developed the process further, developing the Multi Engined Diesel (MED)in 1952. Commonly referred to as in Ireland as railcars it was found these DMUs were not suited to long distance services like the Derry line, the UTA redeveloped the concept and introduced the Multi Purpose Diesel (MPD) in 1957. These railcars were built specifically with the line to Londonderry in mind with the first 10 being allocated for express services between that city and Belfast. The railways of the UTA suffered neglect from government as a result many MPDs were (as were the earlier MEDs) constructed from older coach bodies and frames.

In December 2011, after re-tendering, the contract for operations for the next ten years was taken over by NordWestBahn. It took over the LINT railcars owned by LNVG from Eurobahn and equipped them to its purposes.

CN operates a rail barge service between Prince Rupert, British Columbia to Whittier, Alaska, since 1963. The barge has eight tracks that can hold about 50 railcars. The barge is towed by tugs contracted to Foss Maritime.

The five derivative 1100 class railcars built under licence in Australia in 1961 for the New South Wales Government Railways were also RDC-1 models, modified to suit the restrictions of the New South Wales loading gauge.

The units were made up of four cars. The cars at either end were driving cars. The units had air conditioning, reclining seats, and a bar car. The AEZ railcars were known for speed, comfort, and style.

Simmons, Jack; Biddle, Gordon (editors) 1997. Oxford Companion to British Railway History p 407. Oxford University Press. The experiment was successful and the company's remaining railcars were gradually converted for autotrain use and purpose-built units constructed.

Norges Statsbaner (NSB) operates three Y1 diesel railcars between Notodden and Porsgrunn each hour. The route is on contract with the county through the transit authority Vestviken Kollektivtrafikk. NSB uses diesel traction despite the railway being electrified.

In the UK, Sentinel Waggon Works developed a vertical water- tube boiler running at which was used in road vehicles, shunting locomotives and railcars. Steam could be raised much more quickly than with a conventional locomotive boiler.

In 1952, British United Traction made numerous 4-wheeled single car railbuses. A Diesel Multiple Unit in 1983 As part of the 1955 Modernisation Plan of British Railways, plans were made for up to 4,600 diesel railcars.

DR class VT 2.09 were light railcars of Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR. They were designed and built by Waggonbau Bautzen. In 1970 they were renumbered into classes 171/172, and in 1992 into classes 771/772.

The first run was on 15 March 1948, between Heathcote and Wallan on the North Eastern line; this was with 1RM. The first 153hp unit ran from Spencer Street to Daylesford, until that roster was taken by the first of the 280hp units - 80RM - on 6 June 1950. The railcars soon saw use on the Bendigo-Deniliquin and Ararat-Portland services, and by the time the 91RM was delivered, Mansfield, Wonthaggi, Woomelang and Wangaratta were also being served by the units. The long Glenrowan – Wangaratta section often saw the railcars exceed the speed limit.

Railcars acquired to Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company in 1939 that were still running passenger services on the line were put out of service in 1971, replacing them with the Ganz Works previously used by the Argentine State Railway since 1936. The Ganz railcars ran services until 1977 when the line was definitely closed. When the Libertad−Plomer section was closed, Buenos Aires station of ex-CGBA was set as terminus. Trains ran without passengers from Puenta Alsina to Aldo Bonzi, running back to Tapiales junction where they departed to Buenos Aires station.

The three four-axle narrow gauge railcars of BDŽ class 05 01-03 which were procured in 1941 had proven very good in operation on the Rhodope Railway. In order to cope with the increase in traffic after the Second World War, the BDŽ procured four diesel railcars from Ganz Works Budapest in 1952 again. They were similar in construction and appearance to the vehicles of 1941, but more powerfully motorized with a power of . Originally, they were given the same series designation 05 with the ordinal numbers 04-07.

The 2005 batch of nine sets are numbered 29021-29029. The railcars were the first to be shipped with the new Commuter branding rather than the "Arrow" branding previously used, and as such were the first Iarnród Éireann rolling stock (other than DART EMUs and Enterprise stock) not to feature the company's traditional orange and black livery, which was phased out from passenger service in 2006. The Commuter brand was also extended to Classes 2600, 2700 and 2800 railcars. It has since been replaced by the InterCity livery on these DMUs.

The narrow-gauge lines were steam-operated for much of their existence. Diesel railcars were introduced as an economy measure in the 1940s, notably the Série 9100 built in Sweden for the Tâmega line in 1949 and the Dutch-built Série 9300 railcars used on several other lines from the early 1950s onwards. The Série 9700 diesel multiple units were purchased secondhand from the Yugoslav Railways in 1980, but frequently proved unreliable. Metre-gauge diesel locomotives were built to replace steam haulage, especially on freight or mixed trains, notably the Série 9020 built in 1976.

The decline of the passenger service started in 1956 when the number of trains dropped to three daily return runs, one of which was provided by a pair of twinset railcars. On 27 March 1957, the midday train was cancelled. A decade later, locomotive-hauled carriage trains replaced the railcars on 3 July 1967, at which time the number of services dropped further to just one daily return train. Diesel-electric motive power replaced steam but it was not enough to arrest the falling popularity of the passenger services.

Standard railcar RM 31 in the yard at Pahiatua station. The Pahiatua Railcar Society (PRS) is a society located in Pahiatua, New Zealand, dedicated to the restoration of railcars and other locomotives and rolling stock formerly operated by the New Zealand Railways Department. It is notable for possessing the sole remaining examples of the RM class 88 seater and Wairarapa railcars. Having restored Standard class railcar RM31 to mainline standard for use on the national railway network, the Society ran its first revenue services on the Wairarapa Line at an open day on .

They had a low roof profile so that the railcar driver in his elevated cab could more easily see ahead when propelling them. Elderly former BNCR Class I1 bogie brake tricomposite coaches dating from the 1890s supplemented the purpose built trailers and provided an interesting contrast between the latest technology and Victorian design. Besides pulling their trailers, the railcars could also be seen hauling 4-wheel vans. With top speeds of around , the railcars were not restricted to branch lines but could also work stopping trains on the main lines.

These services are operated with two RABe 524 (TILO-FLIRT) railcars of the SBB and an RABe 527 of the Neuchâtel public transport operator, Transports Publics Neuchâtelois (transN). Between La Chaux-de-Fonds and Morteau, diesel railcars are operated for frontier workers (4 trains per day from La Chaux-de-Fonds, 6 in the opposite direction) in the morning and afternoon; these also serve the border railway station at Le Locle-Col-des-Roches. The route is served by X 73500 sets that were purchased by the Franche-Comté region.

The trains that connect Glauburg- Stockheim and Nidderau with Frankfurt over the Nidda Valley Railway, as well as Nidda to Frankfurt via Friedberg, are hauled by TRAXX (class 245) diesel locomotives in the peak hour, otherwise Desiro (class 642) railcars are used. Class 628 diesel railcars are found between Cölbe and Marburg, sometimes also running to Gießen, which serve the Kreuztal–Cölbe railway to Erndtebrück and the Warburg–Sarnau railway to Frankenberg (Eder). Most trains on the Edersee Railway (Ederseebahn, Bad Wildungen–Wabern) continue over the Main–Weser Railway to Kassel Hbf.

Following the successful testing of the CI cars, the North-South Railway ordered the construction of another 114 single wagons. Since the CII railcars were only partially motorized, so only a bogie was driven, these could not be coupled with sidecar, so that only railcars were constructed. In the further construction, these fan roofs and each had three doors per car and side with a clear opening width of 870 mm. The automatic door locking system, as they occurred in the CI, however, was built only in the late 1930s.

From 1928 onwards 4- and 6-wheeled gasoline (and later diesel) railcars were purchased (Class BCmot) and by 1935 57% of branch lines were served by railcars. The rest of MÁV's passenger network remained steam based with slow pre-war locomotives and 3rd class "wooden bench" carriages (called in Hungarian, a name nowadays applied to low cost airlines). In the early 1930s, almost all Hungarian branch line operators went bankrupt because of the Great Depression. DSA, the Hungarian successor to the former Austrian-Hungarian Southern Railway, went into receivership.

Achern Station is a small railway junction in northern Ortenaukreis. In addition to the Deutsche Bahn regional services and the SWEG railcars on the Acher Valley Railway, services on lines S32 and S4 of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn terminate here. On the station forecourt there is a bus station with six bus platforms that are served by regional buses, including the RVS Regionalbusverkehr Südwest regional bus route 7123, which runs via Kloster Allerheiligen to Oppenau station. The SWEG railcars take 18 minutes to reach Ottenhöfen on the Acher Valley Railway.

However, with little reserve power steam railcars were inflexible and the ride quality was poor due to excessive vibration and oscillation. Most were replaced by an autotrain, adapted carriages and a push-pull steam locomotive as these were able to haul additional carriages or goods wagons. After trials in 1924, the London and North Eastern Railway and the London, Midland and Scottish Railway purchased between them a total of 102 railcars using high speed steam motors from Sentinel-Cammell and Claytons in the late 1920s. These had all been withdrawn by 1947.

In 1955 the SAR introduced its Bluebird and Redhen railcars, and the "Barwell Bulls" – nicknamed after a former Premier of South Australia, Henry Barwell, and the bovine sound that the air horn emitted – were moved to suburban services in Adelaide.

The two British Rail Derby Lightweight railcars, nos. M79900 and M79901, resulted in a reported 400% increase in traffic and were well used especially on market days and Saturdays when both ran together, carrying up to 120 passengers.Davies, R. and Grant M.D., op. cit. p. 104. Despite the increased revenue and reduction in costs, the railcars were unable to save the Banbury - Buckingham section from closure on 2 January 1961, with British Rail claiming that although the cars were well used during peak times, they ran empty at normal times.

BR class 107 multiple unit Railcars and multiple units use similar two-axle powered bogies and many of them use similar hydraulic or mechanical transmissions, rather than traction motors. However railcars are also lightweight and do not require all axles to be powered in order to gain adequate adhesion. They thus use a wheel arrangement of 1A-A1 (UIC: (1A)(A1) ) (or A1-1A (UIC: (A1)(1A) ) ) rather than B-B. A common arrangement is for each power car to have two independent engines and transmissions, each driving a single axle of each bogie.

Philadelphia & Western Railroad, which survived long in the interurban business In the U.S., interurban (German Überland(straßen)bahn) refers to a higher-speed streetcar (tram) line – i.e. electrical railcars or trains which run both between the cities or towns (often in rural environments) on their own right-of-way, and through the city streets as trams. In the U.S., some interurban railcars constructed in the period 1900–1930 ran at extremely high speed for its time. Essentially, the classic interurbans were the light-rail lines of the day.

Construction of Waurn Ponds railway station was completed in 2014 and opened on 12 October, extending Geelong line services to Waurn Ponds. There have been calls to electrify the line, but plans were put on hold by the State Government in 2002, with Diesel locomotives and railcars utilised instead. Train services between Melbourne and Geelong received a government funded upgrade under the Regional Fast Rail project between 2004 and 2005, with new high speed VLocity railcars manufactured by Bombardier in Dandenong entering service to Geelong in early 2006.

The new railcars were to operate on the former ‘broad gauge’ lines of the NCC which not only covered suburban services in and around Belfast, but also the long main line from that city to Derry. The "new" trains, just as with the earlier MEDs, were converted from existing locomotive-hauled stock. These became known as Multi-purpose Diesel (MPD) railcars and were built between 1957 and 1962. The first 10 power cars being intended for the Derry line trains, with the others being for the Belfast local services.

The railcars were regularly used on the Stony Point service after 1984, following the reintroduction of passenger services on that line, but by the early 1990s, regular failures saw them replaced by locomotive-hauled trains. The DRCs were also used on the Leongatha line for a few years, after the line was reopened in 1984, but were replaced by a locomotive-hauled train towing three MTH carriages. The reliability problem was later solved, but the fleet was withdrawn in June 1995, as a result of the introduction of the Tulloch-built Sprinter railcars.

Since the 1990s the PKP Group owned 6 railcars produced by Kolzam and 6 by ZNTK Poznań. The PKP in the 1990s planned to receive the 16 ordered Pendolinos, 50 EU11/EU43 from Bombardier Transportation Polska and a few hundred railcars for local connections. The order for the Pendolinos was cancelled in 2000 after the control by the Supreme Audit Office. All the orders were cancelled due to the financial situation PKP was in and in 2002 all of the delivered locomotives were sold to the Italian passenger transportation company Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane.

GATX derives its name from its primary reporting mark for its North American railcars, "GATX". The mark itself was derived from GATX's prior corporate name, General American Transportation Corporation. History includes GATX working with famous designer Russel Wright to develop "Meladur", a famous melamine dinnerware from 1943-1945, using Melmac by American Cyanamid which was to be used on passenger cars and in hospitals marked with the name "General American". Since all non- railroad owners of railcars must append an "X" to the end of their mark, GAT became GATX.

However, increasing oil shortages during the Pacific War led to their use being curtailed. Therefore, the engines were modified to use other fuels such as alcohol and benzene; experiments were conducted with wood gas, as well. However, these proved unsatisfactory, and the experiments ceased in 1944. Both railcars survived the Pacific War, remaining in the South after the partition of Korea, where they were operated by the Korean National Railroad until the early 1960s, when they were replaced by the DC-class diesel- hydraulic railcars built by Niigata Sharyō, Kinki Sharyō and Kawasaki.

A subsequent order in 1979 was built to similar specs, including weathering steel bodies, by Bombardier. The cars were painted, a standard practice for weathering steel railcars. The durability of weathering steel did not live up to expectations, with rust holes appearing in the railcars. Painting may have contributed to the problem, as painted weathering steel is no more corrosion-resistant than conventional steel, because the protective patina will not form in time to prevent corrosion over a localized area of attack such as a small paint failure.

In order to install a double door at the close- coupled end of the two coaches in the multiple, they were both extended in length by about 50 cm each. Between November 1992 and Januar 1996 a total of 309 railcars were built, of which several were delivered to other railway companies, including those in Luxembourg (see Operations) and Romania. The first vehicles in the regions of Rhein-Ruhr and the Southwest were given a modernisation of the interior. The railcars were matched to the current DB interior design.

In the late 1970s the lack of investments in the railway was made felt in the rolling stock, with steam locomotives, Ganz and Drewry railcars that were obsolete by then. Moreover, only one of the three Ganz Works was operating. The employees of the FCCRCS made their best to keep the line active, sometimes collecting missing spares from Temperley, Tolosa and Haedo workshops, after driving from the Patagonia to Greater Buenos Aires. In other cases, the employees themselves manufactured the spare parts to keep Drewry railcars running on the tracks.

Electrification increased the maximum line speed from 25 km/h to 40 km/h. The new train sets were supplied with compressed air brakes, but the existing traction units and vehicle fleet were also converted from Körting vacuum brakes to Knorr air brakes between 1928 and 1931, largely overnight and during public holidays. At the same time the existing Willer couplers in railcars and funnel couplers with dome irons (Trichterkupplung mit Kuppeleisen) in locomotives and railcars were also converted to Scharfenberg couplers. As a power system, the OEG used direct current, initially at 1200 volts.

The Siemens Venture is based on the earlier Siemens Viaggio Comfort railcars in use in Europe, but adapted for the North American market. The cars entered service with Virgin Trains USA (at the time named Brightline) in 2018. Railcars are currently on order for the US states of California, Illinois, Michigan, and Missouri for use on their state-supported corridors operated by Amtrak and Canada's Via Rail for use on its Québec City–Windsor Corridor. They are being built in Siemens' Mobility North American factory in Florin California.

The main areas of operation of the class, apart from the Ruhrgebiet, were Schleswig-Holstein, eastern Lower Saxony, eastern Rhineland-Palatinate (in the Westerwald forest), south Hesse, south Baden, and the region around Augsburg and Nördlingen. The last few railcars also worked in the area of the Rhine- Ruhr Transport Union (Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr) or VRR until 1995. Between 1978 and 1988 the railcars also worked between Aachen and Maastricht in the Netherlands. In 1968, under DB's renumbering scheme, the power cars became Class 515, and the driving trailers Class 815\.

At the same time, steam operations were gradually replaced on the line by diesel railcars. On 31 January 1975, the Odenheim Ost–Tiefenbach section was closed and on 1 June 1986 the Odenheim–Odenheim Ost section was closed.

In the 1960s the idea re-emerged, using developments in light weight engines developed for helicopters and using lighter kerosene fuels. As these turbines were compact and lightweight, the vehicles were produced as railcars rather than separate locomotives.

In 1890, a branch was opened to Calbe. In 1898 and 1899, the line was duplicated. There were plans in 1908 for the electrification of the track. The first accumulator railcars were used on the line from 1908.

Industrially, methylamine is transported in its anhydrous form in pressurized railcars and tank trailers. It has a strong odor similar to fish. Methylamine is used as a building block for the synthesis of many other commercially available compounds.

The railway's headquarters are located at Goes. From here trains operate to 's-Gravenpolder, Nisse, Kwadendamme, Hoedekenskerke, and finally Baarland. When operating the service using vintage diesel railcars, trains call at all six stations.See the railway's stations webpage.

Alan Gandell, NZR General Manager to Minister of Railways, John McAlpine, 28-7-1966. National Archives The rebuilding was completed in March 1959, and the Minister reported that the railcars were giving "much better service" as a result.

Colorado Railcar was a manufacturer of railroad rolling stock—railcars and diesel multiple unit commuter vehicles. Both products came in single- and double-level versions. It shut down in 2008, with its assets being purchased by US Railcar.

It is a 200,000-square-foot warehouse, and was designed to allow railcars to come into the building. The warehouse contains 28 climate-controlled rooms for banana storage and ripening. Each holds up to 1,500 cases of bananas.

Dynamic braking reduces wear on friction-based braking components, and regeneration lowers net energy consumption. Dynamic braking may also be used on railcars with multiple units, light rail vehicles, electric trams, trolleybuses and electric and hybrid electric automobiles.

They operate on the 1,000 V DC powered Bernina Railway, where they have helped to cope with increasing traffic. Over the years, they have also displaced the earlier ABe 4/4 I class railcars into lower level services.

Numbered ARB2, it seated 28 with twelve standing. Another railcar, numbered CGL1 was built at about this time. In 1933 railcars RS1 and RS2 were rebuilt at Lumbres. RS1 was shortened and fitted with at Unic diesel engine.

Using multiple train systems in tandem optimizes continuous material haulage."Traveling New Ground" Retrieved 2014-01-05. The railcars can travel at variable speeds up to 18 mph, or 8 metres/second, and climb grades of 20%.Caulfield, Pete.

They are often designated as "AR41" (referring to the French "Autorail") or "MW41" (for Dutch "Motorwagen") which would make them single railcars; in fact they are always operated as (multiples of) two cars joined, with a single vehicle number.

TCDD MT5400 is a series of 20 diesel railcars operated by the Turkish State Railways. They were produced by Société Centrale de Chemins de Fer of France in 1954–55. Also delivered were 30 trailers numbered MR401 through MR430.

Accordingly, in 1916, NZR developed its third railcar, the Thomas Transmission railcar. It was classified as RM 2; the Westinghouse railcar had previously re-used the MacEwan-Pratt railcar's classification of RM 1.Jones, Where Railcars Roamed, p. 6.

Ellis (1971), p. 199. During the experiments relating to railcars and motor trains, the LB&SCR; constructed unmanned halts, such as Lyons Crossing Halt and Littlehaven Halt on the Arun Valley Line, in an attempt to increase passenger revenue.

29 Keha-class diesel railcars were inherited from Sentetsu after the war. Very little is known about their service lives with Kukch'ŏl or their classification and numbering, but one was seen in service on the Pukpu Line in 2012.

The South Manchuria Railway operated a wide variety of locomotives and powered railcars, as well as non-powered passenger and freight cars, initially of foreign (primarily American) manufacture, but later almost all equipment was manufactured in Japan and Manchukuo.

The experimental railcars of AEG established a new world record of 210.2 km/h on 27 October 1903. High-speed tests with Prussian state railways steam locomotives S 9 Altona 561 and Altona 562 were also undertaken in 1904.

The following year, the Tramway Bellavista was opened to link the railway to Doctor Pasta's hotel.Wikipedia article Ferrovia_Monte_Generoso_SA (in German). Last updated 2005-02-02 at 14:11. However the owning company encountered financial difficulties at various times during the first half of the 20th century. In the 1939, the then owners approached Gottlieb Duttweiler, the founder of the Migros group, for assistance, and in 1941 the railway became part of that group. In 1954, two diesel locomotives (Hm2/3 1 and 2) were built on the frames of older steam locomotives, followed, in 1957, by two four-axle diesel railcars (Bhm2/4 3 and 4), which allowed a more economical operation. In 1968, two smaller two-axle railcars (Bhm1/2 5 and 6) were introduced. In 1982 the line was electrified and four twin-unit railcars (Bhe 4/8 11 to 14) were supplied by SLM in 1981-2.

The Oberbergische Bahn (RB 25) is a Regionalbahn rail service running between Cologne Hansaring and Lüdenscheid in the German state of North Rhine- Westphalia (NRW). This service is operated by DB Regio NRW with Alstom Coradia LINT 54 and 81 railcars.

Electrichkas also have significantly less socioeconomic importance because of the much lower average speed. The difference deepens as diesel locomotive-hauled commuter trains are being gradually replaced by more efficient railcars (relsovyi avtobus (, "railbuses") capable of moving far fewer passengers.

There was also an outside toilet. In the early 1980s, a charging station for Class ETA 150 battery railcars was built in Lauterecken-Grumach. The latter operated on the lines to Lauterecken but only until the end of the decade.

However the petrol railcars were very unreliable mechanically, and a disastrous breakdown resulted in their withdrawal and the introduction of steam-powered push and pull trains. Hartington Road Halt proved to be unsuccessful and was closed on 1 June 1911.

In 2017, the Victorian State Government announced upgrades to be completed by 2019 that allow VLocity railcars to travel to Warrnambool. These upgrades include new signalling, level crossing upgrades and a second track between Boorcan and Weerite, either side of Camperdown.

Karl Fritjof Nystrom was an American rail engineer who introduced a number of important innovations, including welded lightweight freight and passenger railcars. He is probably best known for his work designing and building the Hiawatha trains for the Milwaukee Road.

The line is served by Regionalbahn service RB 75 (Haller Willem), operated by NordWestBahn with Bombardier Talent diesel railcars. The speed limit on this section is 80 km/h and the average speed of the RB 75 is 46 km/h.

The HzL also hauls passenger trains for Deutsche Bahn (DB Regio) on the Rottweil–Horb and Tübingen–Herrenberg routes. The railcars and locomotives the HzL are regularly hired out for special trains and work trains throughout Baden- Württemberg and Switzerland.

Only the Swiss-built railcars carry regular passengers. The steam locomotive and passenger coaches are used on rare special occasions, but can no longer make it to the summit due to the demolition of most water towers on the line.

After trials in 1924, the London & North Western Railway bought three types of steam railcars from Sentinel-Cammell and Claytons. a reconstructed GWR 1908 steam railmotor is operational, based at Didcot Railway Centre and an GWR autotrailer is being restored.

Most Siemens Viaggio Comfort railcars are configured into semi-permanently coupled trainsets with open gangway-style connections between cars but with standard couplers on the outer ends of the trainset for connecting the trainset to locomotives or other railway equipment.

The Hamburg-Altona–Kiel railway marks the south western boundaries of the quarter, with Hamburg S-Bahn commuter trains serve Elbgaustraße and Eidelstedt station; the latter is also served by AKN commuter trains. AKN railcars also call Eidelstedt Zentrum station.

The 1952 Royal Commission recommended railcar services between Auckland and Wellington and replacing the daylight stopping train on the Christchurch-Dunedin route (which supplemented the South Island Limited and other fast express services) leaving Dunedin at 8:05 am and Christchurch at 9:40 am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and replace local trains between Auckland and Hamilton, Wellington and Palmerston North, Christchurch and Ashburton.Christchurch DME and DTM to CME and Transport Superintendent 18-7-55 and 22-9-55 decided on two return runs Christchurch to Ashburton and rejected the planned extension of local railcar service to Timaru on basis of historical patronage and size and distribution of South Canterbury's population The second batch of 15 railcars were authorised by the government in October 1955,R.F. Black 7/10/55 NZ National Archives- file twin set railcars 1955 34/280 A but cancelled in 1957 due to the unsatisfactory performance of the railcars and their high cost in repairs and the skilled labour diverted, particularly in Auckland.Acting CME 8-3-1966 noted that 20% of the fitters at Auckland railway workshops were employed on railcar servicing, while the railcars were only 7.5% of the fleet and 2.5% of the available traction by horsepower.

The New South Wales XPT (short for Express Passenger Train) is the main long-distance passenger train operated by NSW TrainLink on regional railway services in New South Wales, Australia from Sydney to Dubbo, Grafton, and Casino as well as interstate destinations, Brisbane and Melbourne. The XPT is based on the British Rail designed High Speed Train and entered service in April 1982. It came to fruition in January 1978 when the Public Transport Commission invited tenders for 25 high-speed railcars similar to the Prospector railcars delivered by Comeng to the Western Australian Government Railways in 1971.

The GTWs can be Diesel-electric or electric-powered (via overhead wires or third rail). Although the traction is good for the powered bogies the concept has the same problem as other light railcars with the brakes on the non-powered axles having lower grip than traditional railcars. This has led to actual restrictions when leaves are on the rails as the wheel slide protection can not fully compensate the effect. The central power module has limits with heat dissipation as well which can lead into situations where the power output needs to be limited which is automatically done in this construction concept.

When railcars were introduced on services north of Auckland in November 1956, they ran all the way to Okaihau. Previously, a carriage train known as the Northland Express (or the Opua Express) had run from Auckland to Opua with connections to Okaihau via the mixed trains, but with the change of the northern terminus to Ōkaihau, the branch increased in importance. This proved to be short-lived; in July 1967 the very popular railcar service was withdrawn due to mechanical problems plaguing the railcars. Passengers had to use the mixed trains, with significantly older rolling stock on a slower schedule, and demand slipped.

Since there were many tunnels on the Rhodope Railway, there was naturally also a great deal of annoyance on the part of the staff and passengers traveling uphill through the exhaust fumes of the locomotives. Therefore, the BDŽ decided already in the year of the opening in 1939 to procure diesel railcars for comfort improvement. 1941 followed then the delivery of three motor coaches and three additional trailers with a seat capacity of 62 seats. Seven similar railcars had been delivered in 1938 to the Yugoslav Railways for the local narrow gauge network as a series 801.

Passengers had to rely on mixed trains, which did not connect with the railcars. Nonetheless, the mixed trains lasted another two decades (longer than the railcars, which ceased operating in 1967); the last one ran between Whangarei and Opua on 18 June 1976. From this time, this part was used to carry solely freight, almost all of which was output from the Moerewa Dairy Factory and Affco Meat Works to the port of Opua. By the 1980s, regular freight services beyond Kawakawa were becoming irregular due to the decline of shipping to Opua as a result of containerisation.

These railbuses were a predecessor of the modern diesel multiple units. In the late 1950s, Deutsche Reichsbahn in the GDR developed the single-engined class VT 2.09 with matching trailers and driving trailers, built by Waggonbau Bautzen. A number of serious accidents in Germany in the late 1970s involving railbuses resulted in the specification and development of larger, more robustly designed diesel railcars. Although these cars were more similar in size to the U.S. produced diesel railcars, they would not have complied with current FRA requirements, and, like their North American cousin rail diesel cars, are largely railroad- derivative designs.

As the construction of the Wairarapa Line progressed in 1880, the rails reached the "Upper Plains crossing" in late August 1880. On 28 August a special train conveyed members of parliament and their families from Wellington to the "Upper Plains crossing" where some picnicked, while others were taken by coach into town to refresh themselves at a hotel. In 1936, Renall Street became a stopping place for railcars, coinciding with the introduction of the Wairarapa railcars. Despite strong public support, it was not until 1937 that a shelter and platform were provided at the Upper Plains crossing.

The Southerner between Christchurch and Invercargill, once the flagship of the network, was cancelled on 10 February 2002. Subsequently, the architecturally significant Dunedin Railway Station has been used solely by the TGR's tourist trains, the Taieri Gorge Limited along the Otago Central Railway and the Seasider to Palmerston. Rural passenger services on branch lines were provided by mixed trains and Vulcan/88 seater railcars but the mixeds had largely ceased to exist by the 1950s and the railcars were withdrawn in the mid-1970s. The South Island saw the final use of steam locomotives in New Zealand.

CN 2869, an ES44AC (class EF-644p), in Quesnel, British Columbia CN 2269, a GE ES44DC, in Waukesha, Wisconsin CNR's first foray into diesel motive power was with self-propelled railcars. In November 1925, Railcar No. 15820 completed a 72-hour journey from Montreal to Vancouver with the diesel engine in nearly continuous operation for the entire trip. Railcars were used on marginal economic routes instead of the more-expensive-to-operate steam locomotives used for busier routes. In 1929, the CNR made its first experiment with mainline diesel electric locomotives, acquiring two engines from Westinghouse, numbered 9000 and 9001.

The SS Admiral descended from the SS Albatross, a ferry for heavy vehicles owned by the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad. With no bridge over the Mississippi River at Vicksburg, Mississippi, the railroads accessed a pair of transfer ships to shuttle railcars across. Albatross was fitted with rails built onto the deck, allowing railcars to roll onto the ship, ride a short distance aboard the ferry, then roll over to tracks on the opposite shore after the river crossing was completed. A bridge completed in 1930 rendered the Albatross obsolete for its intended purpose, retiring it from ferry service after 23 years.

DR VT 18.16.10 at Děčín border crossing Rolling stock was alternately supplied by the railway companies for a period of two years: The DR used a refurbished pre-war DRG Class SVT 137 unit until 1960, succeeded by MÁVAG 495.0 and 498.0 railcars operated by ČSD, and ÖBB 5145 ("Blue Lightning") DMUs from 1962 to 1964. In 1966 DR introduced its newly engineered VT 18.16 diesel-hydraulic express railcars, apparently rivalling with the West German DB Class VT 11.5. Renamed Class 175 in 1970, these prestigious trainsets became a flagship in the range of DR services.

After completion of the main line to Woodville in 1897, Newman became a stopping place for a variety of locomotive-hauled trains. Later passenger services were provided first by the Wairarapa-class RM railcars, and later, the twinset railcars. The 1959 railcar timetable for the Woodville–Masterton–Wellington and Wellington–Masterton–Woodville routes shows Newman as a "stops if required" station for the 15 services both ways each week. Railcar services were withdrawn from the Wairarapa Line in the mid-1970s, after which locomotive- hauled carriage trains provided passenger services on the northern section until they were cancelled on 1 August 1988.

The 620/720 class railcars were an evolution of the 600/700 railcars that had been built in 1949/50. Like their predecessors they were built with an aluminium body on a steel frame at the New South Wales Government Railways' Chullora Railway Workshops. However they were fitted with different engines, six receiving two 8-cylinder Rolls-Royce C8SFLH with Rolls- Royce DFR 11500 transmissions, 11 receiving two 6-cylinder GM Detroit Diesel 6/110 with Allison RC3 transmissions and one receiving two 6-cylinder Cummins NHHRTO-6-B1 engines with Twin Disc DFFR 10034 transmissions.

Despite that, they did not prove sufficiently successful: problems related to rough riding and overheating made them unpopular with the public and they were discarded in 1931.David Jones, Where Railcars Roamed: The Railcars Which Have Served New Zealand Railways (Wellington: Wellington Tramway Museum, 1997), 10. A 1930 commission of New Zealand's railway network recommended that passenger traffic be discontinued on the Wyndham Branch, as well as reducing staff and closing the locomotive depot. The administration of the railways went one step further than that, closing the entire section from Wyndham to Glenham on 14 July 1930.

As the use of electric railcars would be more economic, the LAG requested approval for the electrification of the line from Munich Isartalbahnhof to Höllriegelskreuth. The LAG already operated the Meckenbeuren–Tettnang, Türkheim–Wörishofen and Bad Aibling–Feilnbach lines using three electric railcars; the company was considered a pioneer in this area. The approval for the electrification of the Isar Valley Railway was given on 22 February 1899. Thalkirchen was chosen as the site of the power station. The LAG began construction of the power station on 5 April 1899 and of the overhead line on 17 May 1899.

Thus, NZR investigated railcars as an alternate means of providing an attractive passenger service without the expenditure and costs associated with a locomotive-hauled carriage train. The first experiment with railcars took place in 1912 with a MacEwan- Pratt petrol railcar, and while it was not a success, further research and development was undertaken in the following years. By 1936, no design had proven successful enough to warrant construction of a whole class, though an Edison battery-electric railcar built in 1926 had proved efficient and popular until it was destroyed by fire in 1934."Rail car damaged".

In 1940, the first Vulcan railcar was introduced into service. It took over the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday trips from the Midland railcars on 28 October 1940, the Midlands continuing to operate on other days. In 1941 more Vulcans arrived, replacing the Midlands altogether, and in 1942 the Midlands were dismantled at the Addington Workshops in Christchurch. The Wairarapa railcars that entered service five weeks after the Midlands were similar, in that they were also based on the principle of a bus, but were much larger, accommodating 49 passengers, and were designed specifically to operate over the steep Rimutaka Incline.

The NZR RM class Edison battery-electric railcar was a railcar that ran in Canterbury, New Zealand for eight years. It was built for New Zealand Railways (NZR) as a prototype for battery-electric railcars. While the railcar, classified "RM 6", was considered the first successful railcar in New Zealand, it was later destroyed in a fire, and battery-electric traction for railcars was not developed further in New Zealand. Two other classes of battery- electric locomotives were introduced about the same time as RM 6, the E class of 1922 and the EB class of 1925.

The Green Line is operated with the Bombardier-built 5000-series railcars. The 5000-series cars officially began running on the Green Line on July 1, 2012 after the Pink Line became fully equipped with the new cars. As additional 5000-series cars were assigned to the Green Line, the remaining 2400-series cars were reassigned to the Red, Purple and Orange Lines to finish their service lives. Occasionally, 2600-series and 3200-series railcars were used on the Green Line, though these were loaned from the Blue, Brown, and Orange Lines, and only when the Green Line was short on cars.

The unfavourable topographical conditions in Karlshafen created difficulties, however, and it was decided to cater for the north–south long distance freight traffic on the Warburg–Altenbeken route by construction a bypass curve at Altenbeken station to the Hamm–Warburg line. With the dieselisation of lines, passenger operations were generally carried out using diesel railbuses. At times, class V 36 diesel shunting locomotive hauled passenger trains. From 1963 rollingstock used included class 86 locomotives, class ETA 150 accumulators railcars with control cars, single-engine rail buses of class VT 95 with control cars and diesel railcars of class VT 60 with control cars.

When Bombardier Transportation bought Adtranz, it ceased production of the GTx-trams; however, the concept of articulated railcars for low floor trams was carried forward to its Incentro model, which was eventually replaced by Bombardier's standardized Flexity family of vehicles. Of these, the Flexity Berlin was specially designed with a layout similar to the Incentro and GTx-series and can be considered to be among its immediate successors. These trams entered revenue service in 2011. Competing manufacturer Siemens Transportation Systems had been offering the Combino models with articulated railcars until some Combino construction flaws were observed.

Having trialled Governor railcars on the Perth suburban network, in September 1951 an order was placed with Cravens, Sheffield for 18 diesel railcars with all delivered in 1954."Contracts & Tenders" Railway Gazette International volume 95 issue 11 14 September 1951 page 304"Contracts & Tenders" Railway Gazette International volume 95 issue 14 5 October 1951 page 389 An additional four were delivered for country operation as the ADH class. Midland Railway Workshops built nine AYE trailer cars on the second hand underframes that were operated between two ADGs to operate as three car sets. These were replaced by ADAs in 1962.

This enabled the railcars to stop closer to each other, shortening the distance transferring passengers would have to walk between railcars. The condition of the station building had been gradually deteriorating to the point where, in May 1960, tenders were invited for the renovation of the station building. Tenders closed on 22 June, but when no tenders were received, three local firms were approached and asked to provide quotations for the work. Two quotes were received, but it was considered that these prices were too high, and on 17 November it was decided instead to replace the station.

It proved so successful that larger railcars with more seating and no buffet had to be introduced to cope with demand, and even this had to be augmented by a normal locomotive hauled service. During the Second World War, the railcar service was the only through service using the line, as all other long-distance trains were suspended. At this time it consisted of a three car train consisting of a standard carriage sandwiched between two railcars. Two such trains ran to and from Cardiff daily at this period, and a stop at Stratford was introduced.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrsa1491.htmwarwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrsa1509.

The service commenced with WCA/WCE railcars built in 1971 to operate The Prospector."Westrail Commences Avonlink Service" Railway Digest December 1995 page 22"Future prospects for the Prospector" Railway Digest October 1997 pages 18-19 In December 2000 Westrail awarded a contract to United Goninan, Broadmeadow for nine WDA/WDB/WDC railcars to replace the 1971 built stock. Seven were for The Prospector and two for the AvonLink service.New 'world-class' Goldfields and Avon trains move closer Government of Western Australia 7 December 2000"WA Short Lines" Railway Digest February 2001 The new train entered service on 1 August 2005.

Drawing on their experiences with the Nakeha1 class and with the British-made Shiki2 class steam railcars, Sentetsu designed the Nakeha2 class narrow-gauge gasoline railcars in-house. Powered by a Waukesha Motor Company 6-KU 6-cylinder petrol engine imported from the United States, they carried 45 passengers in 3rd class accommodations. Originally numbered 11 through 16, they were renumbered ナゲハ2-1 through ナゲハ2-6 in Sentetsu's general renumbering of 1938. A total of six were built by the Gyeongseong Works, the first four being delivered to Sentetsu in 1930, followed by two more in 1931.

Monday, 2 December 1991 saw the Silver Fern railcars replaced on the daylight NIMT run by the Northerner stock, InterCity having learned from the benefits a carriage train provided over the three 96-seat railcars. To facilitate this, a third modular van fitted with 11 kW generator for power-luggage use and a Wairarapa Connection car turned 32-seat servery car were made available to form a third trainset. Also, the servery/observation/rearview Bay Express car and the observation/rearview TranzAlpine Connoisseurs car were added to provide extra viewing opportunities. The daylight services were named the Overlander Expresses.

NDH1 was purchased by Mile End Railway Museum in 1983 but the carriage was never collected because NDH1 was in a very poor condition.NDH Class Gloucester Railcars Chris' Commonwealth Railways Information NDH2 was offered for sale by tender in 1979 at Whyalla and was sold to a private owner who converted the carriage into a dining car and renamed it 'Duke of Gloucester'. NDH2 was then sold to a private owner in Western Victoria in 2013.NDH Class Gloucester Railcars Chris' Commonwealth Railways Information Shortly after NDH3 was withdrawn, it was sold to a former heritage park, Homestead Park in Port Augusta.

The Wairarapa Mail passenger trains continued to run but in 1944 were reduced from their Monday – Saturday timetable to a thrice weekly service due to a severe coal shortage. It never recovered from this and was withdrawn completely in 1948. Several years later the Rimutaka Tunnel was opened, bringing an end to the mixed trains that had been plying the Wairarapa Line and the withdrawal of the Wairarapa-type railcars, and ushering in the era of the twin-set railcars. The 1959 railcar timetable lists Clareville as a "stops if required" station for both northbound and southbound services.

When railcars were introduced on services north of Auckland in November 1956, they ran through Kaikohe all the way to Okaihau. Previously, a carriage train known as the Northland Express had run from Auckland to Opua with connections to Kaikohe and Okaihau via the mixed trains, but with the change of the northern terminus to Okaihau, the branch increased in importance. This proved to be short-lived; in July 1967 the very popular railcar service was withdrawn due to mechanical problems plaguing the railcars. Passengers had to use the mixed trains, with significantly older rolling stock on a slower schedule.

Some of these services were later replaced with railcars as steam was phased out; others with new services which, it was hoped, would revitalise the flagging fortunes of those routes. Such was the case with the South Express, which were replaced with the prestigious South Island Limited in 1949, and the Southerner in 1970. The Picton Express was introduced in 1945 upon completion of the Main North Line and, following a period during which railcars ran on this route, was superseded by the Coastal Pacific. Following a replacement railcar service, the West Coast Expresses was superseded by the TranzAlpine.

It was built from 1988 to 1989 by Niigata Tekkō (now known as Niigata Transys), the KiHa 130 series cars were introduced as low-cost lightweight diesel railcars that could deal with the increased demand for rail transport in rural areas, in addition to replacing older diesel railcars such as the KiHa 22 and KiHa 40-100 series cars. Eleven cars were produced, all by Niigata Tekkō, and were used exclusively on the Hidaka Main Line from their introduction on said line on 3 November 1988. However, problems with using these lightweight railcars began to show, with two cars being heavily damaged in accidents with level crossings in 1991 and 1996 respectively; car 5, the victim of the 1996 accident, was considered to be irreparable with most parts of the cars scrapped on site. By 1999, however, the cars were considered to have aged sufficiently to be replaced, with all but one car, 8, being withdrawn from service in 2000.

Carriages from the Christchurch-Greymouth express were attached to mixed trains and conveyed to Hokitika while the extension to Ross operated more like a local line with two mixed trains daily. The introduction of small Leyland diesel railbuses in August 1936 to convey copies of the Christchurch Press newspaper to the West Coast led to the establishment of a direct service between Christchurch and Hokitika, as well as local services between Hokitika and Greymouth and briefly Reefton.Pahiatua Railcar Society, "Early New Zealand Railcars" , accessed 4 November 2007. By the early 1940s, the Vulcan railcars had replaced the Leylands and they ran all the way through from Christchurch to Ross, operating twice daily, with a Greymouth-Hokitika return service at mid-day, Monday to Friday. In 1955, the 88 seater railcars entered service in New Zealand, and on 20 February 1956, they began operating the services from Christchurch to Ross via Greymouth, significantly reducing the use of the Vulcans.

When the full line opened in 1897, passenger services from the Hutt Valley to Wellington were augmented by NZR's first express from Wellington, the Napier Express (the WMR had operated the Wellington-Longburn portion of the New Plymouth Express). After the acquisition of the WMR, the Napier Express was re-routed to the quicker west coast route in early 1909 and the Wairarapa Mail was introduced to provide a regular service through the Wairarapa to Woodville. In 1936, RM class Wairarapa railcars were introduced; these were designed to operate at speed over the Rimutaka Incline and provided a much quicker service to Wellington and local Wairarapa services. They originally augmented the Wairarapa Mail but replaced it in 1948. Carriage trains operated only at peak times of the year when the railcar capacity was exceeded; in 1955, the Incline's closure meant the Wairarapa railcars were withdrawn and 88 seater railcars were introduced, boosting capacity at off-peak times.

The Yonabaru Line opened on December 1, 1914. The freight line to Sanbashi Niatsukaisho opened on July 1, 1917. The Kadena Line and the Itoman Line opened on March 28, 1922 and July 11, 1923 respectively. The railway introduced gasoline railcars in 1930.

The Westrail ADP/ADQ class railcars were built by Comeng, Bassendean for Westrail in 1987 to operate The Australind service between Perth and Bunbury. Operation and ownership of the fleet was transferred to Transwa when Westrail was superseded by Transwa in 2003.

The destination station and the next stop are shown on two displays in each of the two door areas on the ceiling.Webseite des STB Absatz: Reiseinformationen - Zugausstattung In the context of regional events, some STB railcars were provided with tourist or commercial advertising.

All four-, five- and six- axled railcars were organised into Class 137. Those with diesel-mechanical drives were given serial numbers 511 to 532, diesel-electrics were number from 551 to 566 and diesel-hydraulic vehicles were given numbers from 571 onwards.

In the 130 years of its existence the bridge has undergone a number of upgrades and repairs. In 1925 the width of the bridge was increased to allow for larger railcars. Then in 1994 the bridge was converted to a pedestrian walkway.

In Sweden the unit has the designation Y31 and Y32, the latter for the three-car formation. Seventeen units have been delivered and are operated by Jönköpings Länstrafik, Kalmar Länstrafik, Tågkompaniet, Värmlandstrafik and Västtrafik. The Itino is intended to replace the Y1 railcars.

The latter line is used only by railcars and multiple units stopping at various stations, from which excursions can be taken to nearby medieval villages and castles. Just before Siena, the two secondary lines converge once again to continue along a common path.

In 1959, the first articulated railcars of the M series followed. For many decades in the mid-20th century, it was the firm policy that Frankfurt's trams would eventually be phased out and replaced by buses and extensions of the U-Bahn.

The railcars were numbered 3170 and 3171 and were long and weighed around . The engine was mounted in an engine compartment long. The rest of the vehicles' length was taken up by a vestibule, driving compartment and a 52-seat passenger compartment.

Since November 5, 2012 run on the A-line in normal operation no U2h railcars more. Some stations of Frankfurt's oldest subway line have also been redeveloped and redesigned, such as the Grüneburgweg, Heddernheim and Nordweststadt stations (since then under the name Nordwestzentrum).

The SL&NCR; was an early adopter of railbuses and railcars, which it introduced in the 1930s and 1940s. One of the latter, Railcar B, was built in 1947 and is now preserved by the Downpatrick and County Down Railway at Downpatrick.

As of 2018 Hotham Valley railway owns and/or operates some twenty-two locomotives (eight steam and sixteen diesel), of which a total of seven are currently operational. In addition, the railway currently owns two ex-Western Australian Government Railways diesel railcars.

No significant mechanical work is believed to have been undertaken. The two other railcars were refurbished in 2009. In February 2015, RM30 was refurbished for a second time. New seats, a new engine and the power bogie from RM 18 were fitted.

In April 2013, WMATA moved forward with plans to order 528 railcars from Kawasaki, called the 7000-series, to replace the 1000 and 4000-series cars, and to provide service for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project, otherwise known as the Silver Line.

There was some limited working of diesel locomotives on special and freight trains with the single ended 121 class being noted; these would be turned on the turntables as required. The 2600 class AEC-engineed railcars were also used on some Sunday specials.

The electrified railway service to Craigieburn station was opened on 30 September 2007 together with a new station at Roxburgh Park at Somerton Road - Roxburgh Park railway station. The Craigieburn service was previously by Sprinter Railcars. North end at South end at .

At the time, the Mitre and Sarmiento lines still used the Drewry Car Co. railcars, acquired in the 1930s. Those coaches had become obsolete due to the increasing number of passengers carried by those lines, which required rolling stock with higher capacity.

As of 2011 Navistar is the primary lease holder at the National Alabama facility which is currently owned by the Retirement Systems of Alabama. Navistar fabricates parts for railcars produced by Freightcar America. Together the two companies are the largest employer in the area.

In 1933, the Great Western Railway introduced the first of what was to become a very successful series of diesel railcars, which survived in regular use into the 1960s, when they were replaced with the new British Rail "first generation" type diesel multiple units.

From the time of their delivery in either 2003 or 2005, the first four BDSeh 4/8 railcars operated shuttle trains between Täsch and Zermatt. Five further examples of the ABDeh 4/8 and ABDeh 4/10 classes were to have entered traffic by 2008.

In Serbia the last line closed in 1983. The most modern diesel railcars were sold to the Portuguese Railways (where they regauged to metre gauge for use on the Douro Valley metre-gauge lines, such as the Tua line), becoming Portuguese train type 9700.

The Metro-North Railroad is a commuter railroad serving the northern suburbs of New York City. It principally uses a fleet of electric railcars for its services; diesel locomotives and push-pull coaches are in use as well for non- electrified portions of the system.

FSE uses has 15 type ALn 668 trains numbered 31-45. These are a mix of 668.1000 and 668.1900 series. Most of these railcars are stored out of service. The remaining trains are operated in the region of Apulia around Martina Franca, Taranto and Lecce.

Clay and earth were drawn away by mule-drawn railcars. Masons lined the five-foot-diameter tunnel with two layers of brick. The lake and shore crews met in November 1866, less than seven inches out of alignment. A second tunnel was added in 1874.

60–61) and a two-axle locomotive of class Ge 2/2 (no. 4). Both types of vehicles had the same electrical equipment. The three units were identical to the two railcars, 70–71, and the Ge 2/2 locomotive no. 5 of the TBN.

While the railcars were procured for passenger trains, the two locomotives hauled freight trains and were used for pretensioning services. The electric supply to the catenary of the two lines was carried out through a substation in Tramelan, which was equipped with backup batteries.

The railway became part of the Great Southern Railway in 1924, which became the Great Southern Railways in 1925. The GSR was consolidated into Córas Iompair Éireann in 1945. CIÉ introduced AEC railcars to the railway in the 1950s, which helped reduce operating costs.

Andy's Diner (also known as Andy's Railroad) was a roadside diner, constructed from several decommissioned railcars, in Seattle, Washington, established in 1949 and closed in 2008. It was constructed on the former location of a more traditional diner that had been built in 1930.

In December 1917 the railroads were taken over by the government and put under control of the United States Railroad Administration (USRA). The USRA ordered 1,930 new standardized steam locomotives and over 100,000 railcars. The USRA's control over the railroads ended in March 1920.

Gibson and Prendergast, p. 71. The total time from departure of the railcars from the shipyard to operational readiness for the boats was about six weeks. By July 1915 all seventeen of the German Imperial Navy Type UB Is had been completed.Tarrant, p. 16.

Currently, trains depart Almaty-1 heading (via Almaty-2) to Aktobe, Kostanay, Karaganda, Pavlodar and Novosibirsk. During 2013-2014, track No.3 and overhead wires got raised by around 1 metre, enable to access with Talgo trains and future bilevel railcars at track No.3.

At the beginning of November 2014, it was announced that the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund and Alstom had agreed to use new railcars with fuel cell propulsion (iLINT) on the lines of the Taunus network (12, 13, 15 and 21) from 2018 at the earliest.

Interior view of the railcar class 05 on a factory photo of Ganz Works The vehicles were optimally designed for the conditions of the Rhodopebahn as mountain railcars with the highest friction weight (identical to the service mass). For narrow-gauge conditions they were designed quite large, much larger than the known narrow-gauge railcars DR 137 322 to 325, which they still towered by three meters in length. But they had about the same number of seats as this series. In one end of the steel skeleton construction of the car body were placed the seats in wood lath construction and in the other end the machinery.

In 1988, Amtrak and Bombardier signed a contract for 104 Horizon cars, based on the Comet railcar, built for use on commuter railroads. The Horizon cars allowed Amtrak to add capacity to its fleet quickly since it was adapted from a proven design, and Bombardier Transportation was already in full production of Comet II railcars. Amtrak was also able to finance the Horizon cars privately, making them the first railcars the railroad was able to purchase without securing federal funding. Bombardier delivered the cars between 1989 and spring 1990, from its Barre, Vermont assembly plant in two basic types: 86 coaches and 18 food service cars.

Class 2600 were initially deployed on the brand new Dublin-Kildare Arrow service (now rebranded South Western Commuter). Although purchased for the new service, which began in 1994, they were also to be seen up until the early 2000s supplementing the locomotive hauled "Craven" coaching stock on Western Suburban (now Western Commuter) services, and occasionally on other lines also. Since January 2010, all 2600 class railcars have been moved to Kent Station, Cork, where they work Cork-Cobh, Cork-Midleton and Cork- Mallow services. Eight trainsets are formed with two railcars each, one with odd number, having a toilet and one with even number.

The Rostock City Council contradicted this and called for an extension of the S-Bahn line to the ferry terminal in the port. Nevertheless, passenger services to the port were completely abandoned on 9 December 2012. The stop in Mierdorf (near Güstrow) was also abandoned at the same time. It was intended that, as of December 2012, all lines would be consistently operated with brand-new, five carriage Bombardier Talent 2 electric railcars, which should replace the old double-deck push-pull trains (lines S1 and S2) and diesel railcars (line S3), but these trains were not yet available at the 2012 timetable change.

There is no freight traffic on the line any more. Sidings are still present in Kalthof (for Kettenwerk Thiele) and Hennen for the occasional transport of RWE transformers to the substation in Sümmern. In the 1990s and the early 2000s, services were provided by class 624 railcars. In 2002, DB Regio NRW won the contract for the so-called Sauerland Net (; apart from this line, it also includes the Dortmund-Sauerland-Express, the Volmetal-Bahn and the Hönnetal-Bahn) and thus has the right to operate the line for another 12 years from the timetable change in December 2004, using Alstom Coradia LINT 41 (class 648) railcars.

None of the experimental or early railcars survived to be preserved, but the Pleasant Point Museum and Railway operates a Model T Ford replica and possesses the unrestored body of one of the original Model T railcars. At least one member of all of the main railcar classes has been saved for preservation. For many years, it was feared that no 88-seater would be preserved, but the Pahiatua Railcar Society has successfully recovered one and is actively seeking to return it to operational condition. The same society is in possession of the sole surviving Wairarapa railcar and is restoring it to operational condition.

Several years later the Rimutaka Tunnel was opened, bringing an end to the mixed trains that had been plying the Wairarapa Line and the withdrawal of the Wairarapa-type railcars, and ushering in the era of the twin-set railcars. The private motorcar was already having an effect on smaller railway stations and Fernside was no exception with patronage steadily declining. The 1959 railcar timetable lists Fernside as a "stops if required" station for both northbound and southbound services. In 1963 patronage was considered to be "light" and by 1975 it was no longer sufficient to warrant keeping the station open leading to its closure to all traffic on 30 March.

Bradley (1974), pp. 62–68. Neither type of railcar was successful, being inadequate to cope with traffic fluctuations between winter and summer, but the "motor trains" could be adapted by the addition or removal of extra coaches. As a result, the experiment provided a new lease of life for the Stroudley tank classes, which continued to be used on branch lines for many years after their withdrawal from suburban services. The steam railcars were sold in 1919, and the petrol railcars were used for departmental (non- revenue earning) purposes during the erection of the catenary for the overhead electrification of the London suburban lines.

The Rhaetian Railway ABe 4/4 II is a class of metre gauge railcars of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB), which is the main railway network in the Canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. The class is so named because it was the second class of railcars of the Swiss locomotive and railcar classification type ABe 4/4 to be acquired by the Rhaetian Railway. According to that classification system, ABe 4/4 denotes an electric railcar with first and second class compartments and a total of four axles, all of which are drive axles. All members of the class operate on the Bernina Railway, under the traffic numbers 41 to 49 (motrice quaranta).

Glenbrook station Like the New Haven mainline from Mt. Vernon, New York to New Haven, Connecticut, the entire branch is electrified with overhead catenary, although it is currently the only electrified branch. Between Mt. Vernon and Grand Central, DC third rail is used, due to the lack of catenary between the two points. Beginning in March 2011, the newly delivered Kawasaki M8 railcars started running in revenue service along the branch, and eventually took over operation from the older Budd M2 railcars. Except for the main-line portion of the route from Grand Central to Stamford and the storage tracks at , the branch is entirely single-tracked.

In 1991, 100 4000 Series railcars from AnsaldoBreda were delivered to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. These railcars were very similar to the older 2000s and 3000s, which Breda had also built, and featured direct current motors and analogue door controls. Unlike the 2000 and 3000 series cars, which were refurbished by Alstom between 2002 and 2005, the 4000 series cars were never rehabilitated. On July 4, 2010, after several incidents where the doors would open while the train was in motion, (a situation that WMATA techs could replicate in a rail yard) WMATA removed the fleet for repairs until July 20 of the same year.

Twin supercharged C8SFLH engines of 250 hp were used in some of the early New South Wales 620 Class railcars with licence built Twin Disc transmissions. C8SFLH engines and licence built Twin Disc transmissions were also used to re-engine a number of Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway's Budd railcars. Supercharged C6SFLH units of 230 bhp were trialled in a single British Rail Class 111 and were later retrofitted to the Norwegian Class 86 and 91 DMUs. The three South Maitland Railways Tulloch rail cars of 1961 also used Supercharged C6SFLH units of 233 hp with a licence built Twin Disc transmission.

As part of this modernisation process, it was decided to upgrade provincial passenger services, which were provided by a combination of steam-hauled passenger trains that operated several times a week, and "mixed" trains that carried both freight and passengers. An order was placed with the Drewry Car Company in the United Kingdom in March 1950, which had supplied some smaller diesel shunters to NZR previously. The railcars were constructed by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company under contract from Drewry. There were significant delays in delivering the railcars, with one damaged in transit. The first railcar was delivered in November 1954 and the last in May 1958.

It proved so successful that larger railcars with more seating and no buffet had to be introduced to cope with demand, and even this had to be augmented by a normal locomotive hauled service. During the Second World War, two such trains ran to and from Cardiff daily. At this time it consisted of a three car train consisting of a standard carriage sandwiched between two railcars, and a stop at was introduced. As a result of representations by the GWR, a nearby working-class district, Temperance Town, was cleared during the late 1930s in order to improve the outlook of the rebuilt station.

In 1922, Nystrom was appointed engineer of car design for the Milwaukee Road – and worked there for the rest of his career. He quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming chief mechanical officer of the company. Nystrom had close to 100 patents to his credit. He was an innovator in many aspects of railcar design, but his principal distinction was the development of welded lightweight freight and passenger railcars, for his design of car wheel assemblies (trucks) for passenger railcars which were considered the smoothest riding in the industry, and for the cars for the Hiawatha trails where he played a leading role in designing the well-known bay window cabooses.

In 1924, the South Australian Railways (SAR) decided to order a group of railcars in order to continue services at country stations that did not have enough passengers to make those services financially viable. J.G. Brill Company were contracted to supply twelve railcar chassis, which would be mated to bodies constructed by the SAR's own Islington Railway Workshops. Numbered 4 to 15, these 12 railcars entered service during 1924 and 1925 as the Model 55 railcar class, and overnight these trains were a success.8 National Railway Museum Two years later the Brill company supplied the SAR with an enlarged version, known as the Model 75.

"Presentan nueva locomotora construida por Materfer" on Portal de Trenes Those locomotives were produced for freight services in Argentina, with expectations to export the machines to Brazil."Cuarenta años después, la Argentina vuelve a fabricar una locomotora", La Nación, 21 Mar 2014 In April 2015 Materfer produced CMM 400-2 railcars for the Tren del Valle that runs between the cities of Neuquén and Cipolletti in Rio Negro Province."Randazzo mostró los trenes que harán el recorrido Neuquén- Cipolletti", La Mañana de Neuquén, 22 Apr 2015 The company was also committed to build 20 railcars for other re-opening projected in Chaco and Salta.

Apart from a short stretch at the western end, the Dry Creek to Port Adelaide line travels through either industrial areas or undeveloped swampland. This meant there has never been much significant passenger traffic on the line, apart from a few trains in the morning and another couple in the afternoon for workers commuting to various industrial premises. In the early years passengers were carried along the line in carriages attached to goods trains. With introduction of Brill railcars to secondary services during the Webb era (mid- late 1920s), things improved and several return trips ran each weekday between Dry Creek and Port Dock using the new railcars.

It is the busiest county town railway station in the Midlands Region, with up to 32 trains to Dublin (10 non-stop) and 30 trains from Dublin (9 non-stop) per day. Córas Iompair Éireann opened a rail depot south-west of Portlaoise town centre in March 2008, with a maintenance and servicing facility for the 183 new intercity railcars and some facilities for outer suburban railcars serving the Kildare route. Bus Éireann operates an intercity service between Dublin and Cork/Limerick which calls at Port Laoise. The town is also the terminus for Dublin-Portlaoise coach services operated by Dublin Coach, which is at James Fintan Lawlor Avenue.

On 3 August 1936, a railcar passenger service began operating in the morning between Hokitika and Reefton utilising small Leyland diesel railcars, but low patronage meant this service ceased to operate all the way to Reefton in August 1938. In the early 1940s, much larger Vulcan railcars were introduced to New Zealand and they provided two services to Reefton: one local service from Greymouth that terminated in Reefton, and a service that ran between Westport and Stillwater to connect with the West Coast Express. In 1967, all passenger services through Reefton ceased. Today, the primary traffic on the railway is coal, with multiple coal trains operating daily.

The original "Rubber Barriers" on the 7000-Series Railcars. These barriers allegedly posed safety risks for the blind. The new "Chain Barriers" on 7000-Series Railcars to help keep the blind from falling between cars In June 2016, the 7000-series was taken out of service on the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines after Metro discovered that trains could lose contact with the third rail on a steep curve, which caused the train to shut down outside . On December 31, 2016, a Washington Post article reported that some residents in DC's Petworth neighborhood were noticing increased noise and vibration levels attributed to the heavier, steel-bodied 7000-series trains.

RM class Silver Fern railcars were employed to operate the daytime equivalent of the Northerner, and when one derailed on 24 January 1989, a replacement carriage train was established as a temporary replacement. Two Northerner cars, along with the Railfreight Systems business car (originally a Northerner dining car), and the first of three modular vans utilised on the reinstated Endeavour now fitted with 11 kW end-mounted generator and painted InterCity blue to match, were assembled into what was the second incarnation of the Blue Fern. This train would be re-activated again after derailments on 15 November 1990 and 11 January 1991, also involving Silver Fern railcars.

The Rhein-Sieg-Express is operated with locomotives of class 146.0 or class 111 as well as Talent 2 railcars in coupled sets. Class 120.2 locomotives were also used until 2018. Between Cologne Hauptbahnhof and Köln-Ehrenfeld, the RE 8 regional express (Rhein-Erft- Express) service is operated with class 425 multiple units and the Regionalbahn RB 27 service (Rhein-Erft-Bahn) with push-pull trains consisting of three double-decker coaches and a locomotive of class 143. Between Cologne and Horrem, the Regionalbahn RB 38 service (Erft-Bahn) is operated with class 644 railcars and S-Bahn services S 13 and S 19 with class 423 multiple units.

The now abandoned proposal for a RegioStadtBahn Braunschweig (Brunswick Regional Stadtbahn) would have integrated the route to Lebenstedt. The railcars would have left the current route before its terminus and run on a new tram line to a point closer to the centre of the district.

The 3000/3100 class are a class of diesel railcars operated by the State Transport Authority and its successors in Adelaide. They were built by Comeng and Clyde Engineering between 1987 and 1996 and are the workhorse of the non- electrified suburban rail network in Adelaide.

The Moroccan royal train was composed of SPV-2000 railcars produced by Budd Company in the US and delivered in the early 1980s. The royal train consists of two self-propelled cars. After King Hassan II died, his successor, King Mohammed VI, stopped using the royal train.

The NZR RM class Clayton steam rail motor was a unique railcar that was operated by New Zealand Railways (NZR) for New Zealand's national rail network and one of only two steam railcars to operate in New Zealand - the other being 1925's RM class Sentinel-Cammell.

Six beams span the opening, spaced to handle the weight of locomotives and heavily loaded railcars. Sitting on the steel beams were twenty-one 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) railway ties, spaced apart for drainage. The bridge is now used by the Don Mills Trail.

All locomotives were constructed by Beyer, Peacock, except No. 2, which was from Harland and Wolff. By 1948 the company had 29 locomotives. Two steam railcars from Kitson & Co. were acquired in 1905. The locomotive works were at Belfast Queen's Quay railway station and closed in 1950.

"Thomas Transmission" rail motor car, 1916 The NZR RM class Thomas Transmission railcar was an experimental electro-mechanical railcar operated by the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR). It was introduced to service in 1916 and therefore was one of the earliest railcars to operate in New Zealand.

The second was a used NSB Class 9 which was procured in 1922. The railway bought two railcars for its passenger services, named Gamla and Padda. Both were two-axled and powered with a gasoline prime mover. Gamla was built by Hässleholm and seating for 17 passengers.

Although railcars had been introduced in the 1930s, all rail passenger traffic ceased in 1939, along with another series of line closures. The passenger service was provided by buses from then on. Most of the surviving lines closed in 1947 and the final closures were in 1948.

However, there was little reserve power for additional carriages and therefore the cars were inflexible and, especially on the articulated types, the ride quality was poor due to excessive vibration and oscillation. Most steam railcars were replaced by an autotrain, a push-pull steam locomotive and carriages.

A handful of CPH railmotors worked Wollongong suburban services for some months afterwards. Many of these veteran rail motors are preserved and still operational. Following the failure of 620 railcars to fit through the Fernleigh tunnel, the CPH railmotors also provided passenger service from Newcastle to Belmont.

Rail car parked on the summit. It is snow-covered for most of the year. This picture was taken in May. As of 2017 the railway owns enough equipment (railcars and snow plows) to run six to eight trains per day from mid-May through mid-September.

The Pahiatua Railcar Society is at Pahiatua railway station, which is no longer served by passenger trains but maintained by the society. It has the only surviving Wairarapa and 88-seater railcars and is restoring them to operational condition; it also has an operational Standard railcar.

The rail section is operated by single electric railcars, often towing or pushing a flat car for goods, with a journey time of 14 minutes. The railway is scheduled with the cable car to provide a through journey frequency of between two and four services per hour.

Mount Gambier station was served from Adelaide by an overnight mixed train until October 1985 and then by a service using Bluebird railcars until December 1990. Today, Mount Gambier is connected to the Victorian rail service via a V/Line coach service to and from Warrnambool.

The shipyard closed in 1926. However, railcars were built on the site until 1940, and parts for railroad cars until 1944. The car served in commuter service for many years, and has closed vestibules. The car has 72 passenger seats as well as a Conductor cabin.

A photograph of the incident survives. As these incidents were taking place, the railroad significantly cut back its use of steam power on its passenger services, replacing loco-hauled trains with gasoline-powered railcars after 1912. In 1915, it possessed four of these.Poor 1915 op. cit.

In 1917, Beardmore bought Sentinel Waggon Works, a manufacturer of steam-powered railway locomotives, railcars and road vehicles. In 1919 a range of cars was announced, to be made by a subsidiary company, Beardmore Motors Ltd, based in factories in Glasgow and the surrounding area; Anniesland, Coatbridge and Paisley.

This list provides an overview of the locomotives and railcars of the Portuguese railways, that is, the traction stock of earlier private railways, the state-owned Comboios de Portugal (CP) and its predecessor, the municipal Metropolitano Ligeiro de Mirandela and the two private transport companies Fertagus and Takargo Rail.

In the 1950s, diesel railcars gradually replaced steam in an effort to improve journey times as many passengers had by then forsaken the line due to a significant increase in private car ownership. CIE were also rapidly expanding their then new bus services in and around the railway.

V/Line operates hourly passenger services to Melbourne, with Sprinter and VLocity railcars used on quieter services, as well as locomotive hauled H type carriages during peak times. Beyond Seymour three daily passenger trains run as the Albury Line and five daily services run as the Shepparton Line.

The E 3201 worked throughout its career on the Perpignan - Villefranche-de-Conflent line for the haulage of freight trains, helped by the railcars. Thanks to its good reliability, it was kept by the SNCF when it was founded in 1938 and it remained in service until 1959.

In the Netherlands, a similar shape to the UIC C is used that rises to in height. The trains are wider allowing for width similar to Sweden. About one third of the Dutch passenger trains use double-decker railcars. However, Dutch platforms are much higher than Swedish ones.

Electrified railway services to Craigieburn Station was opened on 30 September 2007. Craigieburn was previously serviced by five-car diesel locomotives and Sprinter railcars on the Seymour / Albury line. The previous terminus was Broadmeadows Station. Some secret plans of the metro tunnel from Melbourne to Craigieburn were accidentally released.

This situation continued until 2008, when the section between Mörschwil and Goldach was rebuilt as double track. articulated railcars in Mörschwil running as the S2 service (St. Gallen–Rorschach–Altstätten) In 2001, Rorschach-Stadt (town) station was added. It is planned to complete the doubling of the line.

A diesel railcar at Tenbury WellsIn 1937 trials were carried out with one of the GWR's A.E.C. diesel railcars. However the trial was unsuccessful because of the severity of the gradients and, in addition, the inability of the earlier cars to haul a trailer if traffic demanded it.

Comparative calculations indicated that steam engines could be more cost-effective than the new diesel multiple units, so the head of the locomotive firm, Henschel-Werke, in Kassel, and its manager, Karl Imfeld, decided to develop an engine that could compete with the performance of the new diesel railcars.

By then several other locomotives had been brought to the W&T; from the main railway network. When No. 1 met with its end, It was then the last locomotive with single driving wheels in regular traffic in the British Isles. From 1955 diesel railcars served the line.

The main manufacturers of these railcars were National Steel Car, Ottawa Car Company and the railway's parent company, Grand Trunk.Smith (1996) pp. 36-37. Because of its use of the side decks of the Victoria Bridge, streetcars were limited to a weight of per wagon.The Electrical Times (1915).

Special vehicles included sleeping cars, restaurant cars and slip coaches. Passengers were also carried in railmotors, autotrains, and diesel railcars. Passenger-rated vans carried parcels, horses, and milk at express speeds. Representative examples of these carriages survive in service today on various Heritage railways up and down the country.

The Outer Harbor line shares part of its route with the Grange line. All passenger train services are operated by 3000/3100 class railcars. Trains run every 30 minutes between 5am and 9pm on weekdays and weekends. Until April 21, 2018, trains ran on an hourly schedule after 9pm.

Following the electrification of the line, the latter were no longer authorised to operate on the line"Limited life for 2000 class Jumbo railcars" Railway Digest January 2015 page 20 and they were retired from service in 2015. The line is fully operated by A-City electric multiple units.

In 1957, most of the passengers were transported in the history of trams in Simferopol - 40 million. January 1, 1961 the city had 101 trams in the 57 railcars. The last tram line closed December 1, 1970. The reason for the liquidation of trams was no spare parts.

Railcar BCe 2/4 no. 70 is visible behind. As already mentioned, the TBN procured two BCe 2/4 railcars (70–71) and Ge 2/2 locomotive (5). The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 led to increased traffic at the TBN and led to financial relief.

That winter the company ran three logging camps out in their forests. In 1884 the mill employed 50 to 75 men and shipped out as many as five railcars of lumber a day. The town had added a hotel named the Bad River House, and in 1887 a schoolhouse.

Additional criticism of functionalism points out that Hitler and other Nazi leaders delayed railcars providing supplies to front line troops in the Soviet Union so that Jews could be deported by rail from the USSR to death camps thus demonstrating the pursuit of genocidal policies over pragmatic wartime actions.

Until the end of the 1960s, Ferrostaal was also known as manufacturer of diesel railcars and railbuses. In 2004 it was renamed MAN Ferrostaal. Three years later the corporation sold two thirds of its steel business. In 2007 Solar and Biofuels were created as new strategic business areas.

KPEV Emblem on a Prussian luggage van This list gives an overview of the locomotives and railcars that were in the Prussian state railways. Also included are the locomotives of the Grand Duchy of Hesse State Railways (Grossherzoglich Hessischen Staatseisenbahnen) and the Prussian-Hessian Railway Company (Preussisch-Hessischen Eisenbahngemeinschaft).

Regular passenger services ceased in the 1970s. In November 1996, TransAdelaide introduced a trial Sundays only service to Nuriootpa."Barossa Valley Tourist Trains" Railway Digest February 1997 pages 15-16 Later, the heritage Barossa Wine Train ran from Adelaide to Tanunda with Bluebird railcars. This ceased in April 2003.

Many steam locomotives were scrapped at Lumbres in 1956. The railcars were sold. CGL1 was sold to the SE for use on the Réseau des Bains de Mer (RBM) and is now preserved on the CFBS. M41 went to the VFIL Oise, M42-43 went to the VFIL Flandres.

Carriages of Snake awaiting departure The line operates a number of items of rolling stock, the most important of which are the three diesel railcars, which were built on site by the railway's own workshops. Possum (1999) is a 14-seater one-car unit, and Snake (1992) and Linx (2004) are 36-seater, three-unit articulated Railcars. The railway also operates two diesel locomotives; Dieselmouse, an built in 1979 and the first locomotive used on the DCR, and Elephant, an built in 1980. In his book Rails toward the Sky, Barry Brickell stated that Dieselmouse is harder to drive, and is used as a shunting engine around the potteries and firewood drying shed.

TransAdelaide continued to operate rail services under the Adelaide Metro brand. TransAdelaide was abolished on 31 August 2010 with its staff and functions were transferred to the newly created Office of the Rail Commissioner.End of the line for TransAdelaide ABC News 6 September 2010Annual Report year ended 30 June 2011 Office of the Rail Commissioner TransAdelaide operated all suburban railway services in Adelaide on the Belair, Gawler, Grange, Noarlunga Centre, Outer Harbor and Tonsley lines.Timetable Information TransAdelaide After retiring the last of the aging Redhen railcars in 1996, TransAdelaide operated 99 broad-gauge diesel railcars, split into two classes and four types, the diesel-hydraulic 2000/2100 class and the diesel-electric 3000/3100 class.

As of 1955, BB 63000 (ex 040-DE) were often to be found hauling both passenger and freight trains. Then came the BB 66000 (ex 040-DG) and finally the BB 67300 which handled freight services up to the mid 1990s. There was also an abundance of diesel railcars, in particular first the ABJ, 90 hp FNC and X5500/5800 classes. Several different railcars were in service from the mid-1980s. The 300 hp X3800 series 'Picassos' ran from Bourg to Bellegarde until the 1980s and were then replaced by X2100s between la Cluse and Bellegarde. They could be found coupled to X2800 (a powerful 825 hp railcar designed to haul several carriages and operate on steep gradients).

Today, this loco serves as a museum locomotive. In 1929 and 1930, a total of five eight-wheeled electric locomotives HGe 4/4 I were procured for electric operations. In 1939, a sixth locomotive was added, with a new bodywork design. These six vehicles were supplemented in 1960 and 1965 by a total of five two-car railcars of types ABDeh 6/6 and ABDeh 8/8. In 1975 and 1976, four heavy baggage railcars of type Deh 4/4 arrived in the Mattertal. The commissioning in 1990 of five modern electric locomotives of type HGe 4/4 II allowed the gradual phasing out of the aged HGe 4/4 I locomotives.

In 1968, an order was placed with Tulloch Limited for 10 railcars for the Riverina Express with the fleet delivered between October 1970 and May 1972. While awaiting delivery of sufficient cars to operate the service, some were used on Goulburn Day Train and South Coast Daylight Express services in company with the 1100 class railcars. In addition, two vehicles were also constructed for Victorian Railways as their DRC Class. The ten cars were built in two configurations, one with a buffet section and seating for 8 First class and 36 Second Class (numbered PCR 1201-1203) and the other seating 18 First Class, 36 Second Class and a separate luggage compartment (numbered PCH 1221-1227).

In 1848 they made the Fairfield steam carriage that they sold to the Bristol & Exeter Railway, who used it for two years on a branch line. Railcars were built in the early 20th century for the London & South Western Railway (L&SWR;) and before entering passenger service one was lent to the Great Western Railway (GWR). Between 1902 and 1911, 197 steam railcars were built, 99 by the GWR. Introduced either due to competition from the new electric tramways or to provide an economic service on lightly used country branch lines, there were two main designs, either a powered bogie enclosed in a rigid body or an articulated engine unit and carriage, pivoting on a pin.

A physical rail connection between the Red and Blue Lines existed in the early part of the 20th century (prior to the MBTA assigning the color designations of the subway lines). Railcars from what is today the Blue Line could emerge from a ramp portal surfacing between Joy Street and Russell Street, just beyond Bowdoin station. The railcars would run on former streetcar track down Cambridge Street and then most of the distance to the western end of the Longfellow Bridge, connecting to what is now the Red Line just east of its Cambridge subway portal, near what is now Kendall/MIT station. Because the tracks were unpowered, individual cars had to be towed along the street at night.

The very next day, New Zealand's final steam-hauled provincial express, the Rotorua Express, ceased operating. Both expresses were replaced by railcar services operated by RM class 88 seaters, but the Taneatua Expresss replacement terminated in Te Puke, permanently ending regular passenger service to destinations beyond that town. The railcar itself did not last long; it was cancelled in 1967, and this was as much due to mechanical problems with the railcars as with patronage numbers on the long and circuitous rail route from Auckland. Passenger services to the Bay of Plenty were not reinstated until the 1991 introduction of the Kaimai Express from Auckland to Tauranga which used Silver Fern railcars until the service was discontinued in 2001.

Nevertheless, the rolling stock had not been renewed since the 1930s and as a result, some railcars that had crashed or been destroyed in accidents were put out of service and never replaced due to the lack of investment to acquire brand new material. In the late 1960s and early 1970s railcars by Hungarian company Ganz Works were sent to the Belgrano Sur. They had been acquired by the Argentine State Railway decades earlier and had been running in Northern Argentine railways since 1936. Some of them were used for local services to Libertad and the rest for the long-distance service to Carhué, departing from Buenos Aires station, the former Compañía Gral.

Preserved KiHa 2000 series diesel railcar formerly used on the Kumagaya Line, August 2011 The line was initially operated using Class B2 (ex-JNR Class 5300) Beyer Peacock-built steam locomotives (numbers 27 and 28, ex-JNR 5312 and 5313) hauling former DeHa 1 electric cars converted to non-powered passenger coaches. A fleet of three new KiHa 2000 series diesel railcars built by Tokyu Car was introduced from February 1954. These were initially painted in JNR-style blue and cream, but from June 1963, they were repainted into the Tobu livery of "royal beige" and "international orange". From February 1972, the three railcars were repainted into the Tobu livery of all-over "sage cream".

Davies, R. and Grant M.D., op. cit. p. 104. Despite the increased revenue and reduction in costs, the railcars were unable to save the Banbury - Buckingham section from closure on 2 January 1961, with British Rail claiming that although the cars were well used during peak times, they ran empty at normal times. According to published figures, the line had been losing £14,000 per annum before the experiment with receipts of around £50 per month; the railcars resulted in an increase in the income of around £250 - £300 per month, but still ran at a loss of £400 per month and the annual loss on the line could not be reduced beyond £4,700.

In 1968, an order was placed with Tulloch Limited for 10 railcars for the Riverina Express with the fleet delivered between October 1970 and May 1972. While awaiting delivery of sufficient cars to operate the service, some were used on Goulburn Day Train and South Coast Daylight Express services in company with the 1100 class railcars. In addition, two vehicles were also constructed for Victorian Railways as their DRC Class.

Metro announced in November 2013 that within two years, all 5000- and 6000-series cars would feature new resilient flooring, replacing the existing carpeting. On June 4, 2015, the Federal Transit Administration approved an early decommission of the 5000-series railcars, which were replaced with 7000-series railcars instead of being rehabbed. Retirement process began in 2017, and WMATA announced that the last cars were removed from service on October 12, 2018, although cars were reported still in service up until October 17. After retirement, some cars were used for work service such as on de-icing tracks and on the Silver Line Phase 2 construction, where they tested the tracks on the line and polished the third rail.

Following the replacement of the 1000, 4000 and 5000-series cars with the new 7000-series between 2016 and 2018, Metro proposed that all 366 2000-series and 3000-series cars be replaced by the 8000-series cars. Metro considered using an open gangway married pair- or quad-configuration design concept for the 8000-series railcars, but decided against advancing those designs. While these railcars would have a similar appearance to the 7000-series, the 8000-series would include more features such as "smart doors" that detect obstruction, high- definition security cameras, more space between seats, wider aisles, and non- slip flooring. Early plans for the 8000-series procurement had delivery of the cars to begin in 2023.

Initially, there was some traffic generated by gold mining and dredging near Waikaia, but the line was much too late to serve the gold fields of the 19th century and it mainly carried agricultural traffic. Its role was essentially to open up the surrounding land to farming and to provide a convenient link to major centres before the development of modern road transportation. In 1925, Ford Model T bus equipment was used as the basis for two railcars, the RM class Model T Ford railcars. They began operating on the Waikaia Branch as well as the Wyndham Branch in late May 1926 in an attempt to provide more efficient passenger service at a lower operating cost.

By comparison, the Palmerston North-based JAs spent more time working freight trains, particularly with the arrival of the 88 seater railcars. Following the start of dieselisation in the 1960s, the locomotives migrated to Frankton Junction. While JA 1286 was briefly transferred to Auckland in the mid-1960s, it was felt it did not perform as well as the eleven Auckland-based locomotives and was quickly re-allocated to Frankton. After this, the locomotives were largely relegated to the old East Coast Main Trunk Railway between Hamilton, Tauranga and Taneatua, again largely on freight trains due to the reduction of passenger services from Taneatua to Te Puke, which was by now handled by the 88 seater railcars.

Kitson and Company of Leeds built Ariel's Girdle in 1851. However, the next railcars were built in 1902 for the London & South Western Railway for the line from to , although before entering passenger service it was lent to the Great Western Railway (GWR). By 1908 the GWR had purchased or built 99 railcars (or railmotors as they called them), but from 1917 began converting them into autocoaches for use on push-pull trains with a steam locomotive, as these were more reliable and were able to haul additional carriages or goods wagons. Between 1905 and 1911 the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR;) purchased or built seventeen steam rail cars, some running into the 1940s.

Despite the cessation of operations, the attempt was successful. In 1907, MFO supplied railcars BCFe 4/4 to the Maggiatalbahn for operation at 5000 volts, 20 Hertz. In July 1910, the Bernese Alpine Railway Company Bern - Lötschberg - Simplon (BLS) opened its Spiez-Frutigen test track electrified at 15,000 Volts, 15 Hertz.

The Lake Van Ferry () is a passenger ferry service operated by the Turkish State Railways. It runs in Lake Van between Van and Tatvan. Ferry service began operations in 1971, when a railway from Van to Iran was built. The ferry carries mainly railcars across the lake along with passengers.

The PLCs had a port and storage tanks in Kinshasa, as well as their own boats and their own railcars. They also had a large oil storage capacity in Matadi. In 1958 the head office was transferred from Brussels to Leopoldville. In 1957, the company employed 14,780 cutters in Kwilu.

In the 1940s local passenger services to Whifflet and Coatbridge were operated by Sentinel railcars; this arrangement ceased in 1948. In 1947 Glasgow Zoo was established in the Calderpark area, and became very popular. As the Hamilton line ran nearby, a station, Calderpark Halt, was opened to serve it in 1951.

The NZR RM class Sentinel-Cammell was a steam-powered railcar operated by the New Zealand Railways Department (NZR). It was the only one of its type to operate in New Zealand, and one of only two steam railcars trialled in the country; the other was the Clayton steam railcar.

Akechi 10 series railcar 12 in March 2007 , the line is operated using a fleet of five Akechi 10 series diesel railcars and one Akechi 6 series diesel railcar. A new Akechi 100 series diesel railcar (number 101) entered service on 8 April 2017, replacing the former Akechi 6 series car.

Most trains coming from Neumünster continue to Büsum. Services are operated with LINT 41 railcars. Since the timetable change in December 2011, the line has been operated by NBE Nordbahn Eisenbahngesellschaft mbh & Co. KG, a joint subsidiary of AKN Eisenbahn AG and BeNEX GmbH. These trains mostly run to Neumünster.

Railways in the Republic were converted to diesel locomotive traction early, and swiftly, due to the run down nature of many of the steam engines, lack of coal, and a desire for modernisation. In 1951 CIÉ's first diesel railcars arrived, followed in 1953 by an order for 100 diesel locomotives.

The existing timetable was largely retained when DB Regio NRW gained the current concession. It procured 21 new Alstom Coradia LINT (class 648) diesel railcars for operation on the Sauerland Net. These replaced older Deutsche Bahn rollingstock. The increased comfort of the new trains has been well received by passengers.

The structure is made of riveted stainless steel and has a gray color. There is an orange stripe around the windows. There are four entrances on each side of each car. In the three- car units, the first and third cars are railcars, the middle car has no separate drive.

Pukou District (), is one of 11 districts of Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province, China, lying northwest across the Yangtze River from downtown Nanjing. The district was formerly the southern terminus of the Tianjin-Pukou Railway; railcars had to be ferried across the river until it was bridged in 1968.

Enhanced brakes on the new railcars allowed tramway-like 'on sight' operation through the villages with a maximum speed of , whilst speed on other parts of the line was increased to . Other parts of the line were realigned to avoid conflict and as many level crossings as possible were removed.

On July 2, 2015, a CSX Transportation freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed at Maryville, Tennessee. The train was traveling from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Waycross, Georgia. It comprised two locomotives and 57 freight cars, at least two of which were carrying acrylonitrile. Other railcars in the consist were carrying LPG.

Three of the railcars were reported to have caught fire. An evacuation of all within a radius was ordered. The evacuation zone was later extended to , affecting over 5,000 people. Those evacuated were offered accommodation at the Heritage High School, where Red Cross personnel provided assistance, or at the Foothills Mall.

When running in reverse, the driver had to watch the track from the rear platform; he could use a whistle and an emergency brake. The steel frame proved too weak and had to be stiffened later. After the regauging and electrification of the line, steam railcars no. 5 and no.

Other presented railcars are in two Dutch railway museums one in Hanover and one in Kassel. The next generation 301-317 and 351-366 was produced by Wegmann in Kassel in the 1960s and in service until 2003. Some of them still exist but are not in regular service any more.

Trade unionists from the factory picketed in front of the former owner, Sobiesław Zasada Group, in Kraków, demanding payment of arrears of salary for several months. The company is still operational. Since 2001, the company has developed and produced components for rail vehicles, especially the bodies of railcars and trams.

In February 1958, X class diesel locomotives took over. The service was relaunched on 1 October 1960 with onboard catering removing the need for an elongated stop at Pinjarra. On 16 November 1987, the current ADP/ADQ class railcars took over the service reducing journey times to 2 hours 30 minutes.

During the 1970s many railroads had old fleets of railcars. Due to the poor financial state of many railroads, these cars were dirty and grimy. Railbox cars stood out with their bright yellow paint and large logos. The company's car reporting marks, as noted above, ended in the letter "X".

The narrow gauge Texas and St. Louis Railway built into Bird's Point in 1882. When the remainder of the railroad was completed, it stretched from Bird's Point to Gatesville, Texas. An incline was used to transfer railcars onto car floats for the cross-Mississippi trip from Birds Point to Cairo, Illinois.

Very little is known about the service lives of the 29 railcars that remained in the North after the partition of Korea and were inherited by the Korean State Railway, but at least one Gyeongseong-built unit was seen in service on the Pukbunaeryuk Line in 2012; its number is unknown.

The others are the Louisville and Nashville Steam Locomotive No. 152, the Louisville and Nashville Combine Car Number 665, and the Mt. Broderick Pullman Car. The F&C; had two Brill Railcars: M55-1 and #2. It was #2 that broke the axle while crossing the Southern Ry at Georgetown, Ky.

They received new diesel prime movers from Hercules in 1953 and 1954. They Voss Line was electrified in 1954 and the railcars were relocated to the Skreia Line. One returned to the Bergen Line from 1957. They were taken out of use in 1960 and 1961 and were retired in 1963.

During 1935 and 1936, five electric locomotives were built under license from Metropolitan-Vickers. In 1935–1936, Fablok produced five Luxtorpedas (fast railcars) for PKP under the guidance of engineer Klemens Stefan Sielecki. They were based on the Austro-Daimler's design, but substantially modified. Two experimental fast steam locomotives were built in 1937.

As of May 2015, five additional trains (pulled from the 18 trains originally ordered for Line 14) have been placed into service on Line 1. These trains are numbered 550 to 554, and are painted in the RATP/STIF livery. This leaves railcars 585 through 594 to be assigned to Line 14.

In 1886, John Scarisbrick Walker established Globe Foundry in Wigan. He was later joined by brothers Thomas and Edwin and the business renamed Walker Brothers. Initially based in Queen Street, it moved to Pagefield Works in 1874. It initially manufactured steam locomotives before diversifying in the 1930s to produce diesel locomotives and railcars.

Non Passenger trains such as the DFDS Freight train from Ballina - Waterford avoid Kilkenny by using Lavistown loop which joins both lines going into Kilkenny. All direct services are operated by 22000 railcars. There is a service every 2 hours. Bus Éireann and JJ Kavanagh and Sons provide bus services throughout the county.

New rolling stock included the Silver Star luxury Wellington–Auckland overnight train, sourced from Japan. The service never lived up to its promise and was withdrawn in 1979 due to poor patronage. In 1972 the first Silver Fern railcars were introduced for the daytime Wellington–Auckland run. Freight traffic was again changing.

National Alabama is designed to provide steel railcars and was expected to be the largest employer in the area. In 2010 the depressed economy was blamed for delayed full production at the facility and the company said it was looking for alternative products to produce. Navistar and Freightcar America now occupy the facility.

By the end of the 1970s, steam traction in Poland was mostly retired. Non-electrified lines became operated with diesel locomotives. For short distance passenger traffic (mainly suburban trains) PKP was seeking a more economical solution than a heavy diesel locomotive pulling few cars. The obvious solution was the use of railcars.

The TranzAlpine passenger express train which runs the length of the Midland Line from Christchurch to Greymouth passes through Stillwater, but does not stop. Previous passenger services did stop, e.g. a service to Westport run by RM class Vulcan railcars up to 1967. The station refreshment room closed at the same time.

The Makies company transports gravel from Zell to the gravel works in Gettnau. It acquired four BDe 4/4 railcars from the Südostbahn (SOB) for this role, with one serving as a source of spare parts. A double-track section between Gettnau and Gettnau freight yard has facilitated operations since 8 December 2006.

The cars were designed by the Next Generation Corridor Equipment Pool Committee (NGCE) under the provisions of the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008. The cars were intended to replace single-level Amfleet and Horizon cars in the Midwest and supplement the bilevel Surfliner railcar and California Car railcars in California.

In 1909, further extensions were authorised. St. Brieuc – Plemy – Loudeac, Plemy – Dinan, a connection to Plestin les Grèves to link to the Chemins de Fer Armoricains and other lines. These were not completed until 1926 owing to the First World War. Despite the introduction of railcars the first closures took place in 1937.

Under the New Deal the BRS cars were used in most long-distance loco-hauled sets, with one or two mixed in with BS, BZ, BCZ, AZ and ACZ cars to give three, four or five carriage sets. From 1993 those regional sets were rendered obsolete, as the Sprinter railcars entered service.

At peak times, capacity was below requirements. It has been seen in recent years that Iarnród Éireann have phased out all locomotive hauled services, other than those using the 67 Mark 4 carriages on the Dublin-Cork Main Line and the Enterprise on the Dublin-Belfast Main Line, with 22000 Class railcars.

Many British technical advisors continued to work in the Spanish shipbuilding yards, workshops, foundries and dry docks (on both sides) during the war."Warships of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939)" kbismarck.com Between 1958 and 1960, SECN built 23 electric railcars and 12 trailers for use on metre gauge railways operated by FEVE.

Port Jersey is the key transload terminal for solid waste from New York City barges to railcars. In 2004, the city announced its plans to minimize haulage of waste by truck. Jersey City benefits from a $10 million initial payment and annual payments of $250,000 for the arrangement. The plan faced opposition initially.

Xplorer in the final CountryLink livery. The Xplorer is a diesel self-propelled multiple unit train, introduced from 1993. They provide services to Canberra, Griffith, Moree, Armidale and Broken Hill. They are technically and mechanically similar to NSW TrainLink's Endeavour railcars, but with a buffet service and a higher standard of accommodation.

The transmission incorporates a Voith KB260/r hydrodynamic brake. An auxiliary 135 kW Cummins LT10R(G) diesel engine drives a Newage Stamford UCI274F alternator to supply power for the air conditioning and lighting. The maximum speed of Endeavour railcars is 160 km/h but in service this is limited to 145 km/h.

Cudahy (2003), p. 231 and were known as "red cars" or "red rattlers".Hulick, p. 19. The cars ran in service with the PRR until the Penn Central merger in 1968 at which point they were already being marked for replacement by new technology railcars such as the Budd M1 and Pioneer III.

Before World War II, the company had built steam-, petrol- and diesel-powered railcars for overseas customers, not to mention bus bodies for Midland Red, and afterwards developed more motive power products, including BR's Class 26, Class 33 (both diesel) and Class 81 (electric) locomotives. Examples of all three types are preserved.

Bluebird Railcar Driving Trailers 100 to 107 Chris' Commonwealth Railways PagesBluebird Railcars 250 to 260 Chris' Commonwealth Railways Pages The last were withdrawn in January 1993 and placed in store at Mile End and later Islington Railway Workshops. In May 1995, no. 257 was donated to the National Railway Museum, Port Adelaide.

The company started negotiating also taking over operations on the Arendal Line. They proposed using Y1 diesel railcars with a capacity for 70 people. With the introduction of the Class 73, NSB also proposed establishing a direct morning express from Arendal to Oslo without transfer at Nelaug. However, neither proposal was realized.

The self-powered luggage railcars (series 2041 or ÖBB 2091) were slightly better in performance. After Anschluss in 1938, the narrow-gauge railway, like all Austrian railways, became part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. During the wartime years 1944 and 1945, there was wartime destruction and damage in many places, especially around St. Pölten.

The conversions were not successful and were therefore discontinued. Operations of the first series of railcars ended with the introduction of articulated vehicles in the 1960s. Individual cars were converted into engineering vehicles. Tw 2 and Tw 16 (which has been converted to an auxiliary car) are still available in a poor condition.

Comeng's proposal for a train based on the InterCity 125 was announced as the successful bidder in October 1976. The Tilt Train is the name for two similar tilting train services, one electric and the other diesel, operated by Queensland Rail on the North Coast line from Brisbane to Rockhampton and Cairns. In May 1999 the Electric Tilt Train set an Australian train speed record of north of Bundaberg, a record that still stands."QR Tilt Train Sets Australian Rail Speed Record" Railway Digest June 1999 page 15 The Transwa WDA/WDB/WDC class are a class of railcars built by United Goninan, Broadmeadow for Transwa in 2004/05 to replace the WAGR WCA/WCE class railcars on the AvonLink and Prospector services in Australia.

Traffic on the Wyndham Branch was light from the beginning, and in its early years, it was described as being "in fine running trim". It adequately served the needs of the local community and provided access to markets before the establishment of a modern road network, but as the 20th century progressed, it began to lose money. Ford Model T bus equipment was used as the basis for two railcars in 1925, and in May 1926, the RM class Model T Ford railcars began providing a service on the line as well as on the Waikaia Branch. They were economic, consuming 18.8 litres per 100 km and capable of running at 48 km/h, a reasonable speed for rural branch lines at the time.

The weapon was moved long distances via rail on a variant of a Schnabel car; the whole chassis was hung between two huge pedestal-mounted swiveling arms fixed to five-axle bogies.Jentz, p. 8 When it reached its destination, the weapon was detached from railcars' supporting arms and driven to its intended firing location. The chassis of the ordnance was then lowered to the ground by "raising" the continuous track units' roadwheels by rotating their torsion-bar-sprung suspension arms to drop the chassis close to the ground to distribute the recoil forces more evenly in preparation for firing - the roadwheels for each trackset were also similarly "raised" to allow the tracks to clear the rails while being transported by rail, between the pair of Schnabel railcars.

This service is principally a shuttle along part of the Limerick–Rosslare railway line between Limerick station and Limerick Junction connecting to and from mainline services between Dublin and Cork as well as to a regional service to Waterford. In the late 2000s, an enhanced commuter aspect was developed involving expansion of car parking at Limerick Junction was completed and in 2010 Iarnród Éireann also introduced a morning service from Thurles to Limerick from Monday to Friday which passes through Limerick Junction. There are no intermediate stops on the Limerick Junction–Killonan Junction section or the Killonan Junction–Limerick section. Some services are part of direct Dublin–Limerick intercity trains operating using 22000 Class InterCity diesel railcars and the others operate using 2800 Class diesel railcars.

Car 8 was later painted in a Hidaka Pony paint scheme and was used for additional services on the Hidaka Main Line until it was retired on 17 June 2001. There are no new diesel railcars were produced to replace the then-recently retired KiHa 130 series sets. Instead, older KiHa 40 series cars were selected to replace the KiHa 130 series cars on the Hidaka Main line; this is somewhat ironic as the KiHa 130 series cars were replaced by the railcars that it intended on replacing. And there are no KiHa 130 series cars appear to survive today; the last "surviving" KiHa 130 series car, 5, was last sighted in 2008 in a state of disrepair, with its bogies and prime movers removed.

New Zealand's experimentation with railcars began in 1912 with the use of a MacEwan-Pratt petrol railcar. NZR, which ran the national rail network, was looking for ways to run rural passenger services with as little expense as possible, but at the same time presenting an attractive form of transport to passengers. Many rural branch lines at the time ran "mixed" trains that carried both passengers and freight and were not particularly popular due to the slow schedule that resulted from loading and unloading goods during the journey. NZR saw the use of railcars as a potential means of providing cheap and efficient rural passenger travel, and as railcar technology was not very well developed at the time, engineers experimented with new ideas and various styles.

In the 1920s, NZR began experimenting with railcars as a way of replacing mixed trains that carried both passengers and goods and ran too slow schedules as they had to load and unload freight regularly. In December 1923 a former NZR employee, Ambrose Reeves Harris, who was a personal assistant to Thomas Edison and was working for the Edison company, wrote to Minister of Railways Gordon Coates suggesting battery-electric traction for a railcar similar to Electric Car & Locomotive Corporation's railcars in the United States. The proposal did not meet with favour from NZR's Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME), who pointed out that the estimated cost of such a railcar was 3.6 times that of the Sentinel-Cammell railcar that was on order.

The brand was introduced on 16 May 1994 as 'Arrow', the first specific branding for diesel suburban services, with the launch of the Arrow brand on the newly opened Kildare line. This brand was applied to stations on the line, as well as the 2600 Class railcars. It was also applied to the 2700 Class and 2800 Class railcars upon their introduction (however in the case of the latter, it was removed shortly after their introduction into service and replaced with the National Development Plan logo). Thus the Arrow brand became the first major branding for suburban railway services in Dublin (officially, its use remained limited to the Kildare line, but Arrow branded or liveried trains were used on most suburban services).

California Cars were the first generation of Superliner derivatives. The Superliners established a standard basic design for bilevel railcars, including the upper- floor height of above the top of rail. Built primarily for long-distance services, the Superliners were not ideal for use on corridor routes. They were not equipped for the volumes of passenger loading and unloading found on corridor routes, nor did they have amenities designed for these shorter trips. The 1990 passage of California propositions 108, 111 and 116 authorized the sale of nearly $3 billion in bonds for the creation of rail services across the state. Proposition 116 required the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to create specifications for standardized railcars and locomotives that would be suitable for rail operations across the state.

In 1968 and 1971, cuts were made to the services as the railcars wore out, and on 6 November 1972, they were cancelled entirely on the Wellington to Napier run and replaced by the Endeavour, which was modelled on the successful Southerner. Railcars survived on the run through to Gisborne until 30 May 1976, when they were replaced by an extension of the Endeavour. It ran once daily in each direction, but its quality gradually declined during the 1980s as rolling stock was reallocated to other trains; this included the removal of a buffet car, necessitating lengthy refreshment stops in Napier and Palmerston North. On 8 March 1988, Cyclone Bola significantly damaged the line between Napier and Gisborne, resulting in the truncation of passenger services to Napier.

Class 650 Regio-Shuttle in Schnaitheim Services on the line include Regional-Express services every hour on the Ellwangen–Aalen–Ulm route (every two hourly from Crailsheim) and Regionalbahn trains between Biberach/Laupheim and Langenau operated by DB ZugBus Regionalverkehr Alb- Bodensee GmbH (RAB), a subsidiary of DB Regio. In addition, every two hours Interregio-Express (IRE) services connect Aalen and Ulm in less than an hour. These are operated with railcars of class 611 diesel multiple units, which have been upgraded to operate with Eurobalises. Most traffic on the line are carried in class 650 Regio-Shuttles in single units but in addition locomotive-hauled trains with class 218 locomotives and Silberling carriages and class 628.2 railcars are used.

The railcar was designed taking advantage of the experience developed in the construction of 2-decks vehicles gained in Italy by the Casaralta workshops (Bologna) in building railways carriages derived from those in service on the Parisian "banlieue" and supplied to Ferrovie Nord Milano and Ferrovie dello Stato companies. Such vehicles were built under CIMT Lorraine (a French firm) license. The experiment was focused on the research on a lightweight vehicle with higher capacity than railcars used at that time. The objective was to provide regional and branch lines with such vehicles, with an offer estimated at about 40-50% more passengers than equivalent traditional railcars, despite the "low power consumption and a saving of about 20% in investment and running costs".

It was decided to introduce the railcar to a daytime service between Auckland and Wellington. This service, which started on Monday 23 September 1968, was highly successful and prompted the conversion of two further cars to 82 seats each to accommodate larger servery areas and, later, the purchase of the Silver Fern diesel-electric railcars for this service. Initially, the Main Trunk Blue Streak railcar ran from Wellington to Auckland on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from Auckland to Wellington until a second railcar was refurbished for the Christmas 1968 and New Year 1969 period and a third for the 1969 Easter holidays. The service proved so popular that it was not uncommon to see two of the railcars running in multiple.

Railcars were built in the FIAT factories of Turin, Decauville and Córdoba. Although the first railcars were manufactured in Italy and France, most of them were made in Argentina, in a factory specially designed for that assignment located in Ferreyra, Córdoba and named "Materfer". Some versions stated that the 7131 was inspired on the 1934 Pioneer Zephyr, a diesel-powered railroad train formed of railroad cars permanently articulated together with Jacobs bogies, built by the Budd Company in 1934 for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q;), commonly known as the Burlington. The train featured extensive use of stainless steel, was originally named the Zephyr, and was meant as a promotional tool to advertise passenger rail service in the United States.

Silverliner is the name given to a series of electric multiple unit (EMU) railcars in commuter rail service in the Philadelphia area since 1958. As of the introduction of the Silverliner V in 2009-2010, there have been 5 generations of Silverliner cars, identified by the Roman numerals I through V placed after the name Silverliner. The Silverliner name came from the classes' shiny stainless steel body shell, which contrasted with the painted (or rusting) carbon steel railcars used by the Pennsylvania and Reading Railroads between 1915 and 1936. Applied to the first large production order in 1963, the cars made such an impression that the name has since been applied to all subsequent MU classes purchased by SEPTA for the Regional Rail services.

Leongatha on the South Gippsland Railway in December 2008 Whilst in service the Redhens were mechanically robust and reasonably reliable; they were attractive options for use on heritage and tourist railways after retirement. However, their age, and the increasing service time since overhaul, has affected their reliability in preservation. Some continue to operate on broad gauge lines in south-eastern Australia. Many have been broken up, but the first and last units and a few others still exist.Redhen Railcars 300 to 373 Chris' Commonwealth Railways PagesRedhen Railcars 400 to 436 Chris' Commonwealth Railways PagesSAR 820 Class Wooden Railcar Trailers Chris' Commonwealth Railways Pages860 Class Steel Railcar Trailer Cars Chris' Commonwealth Railways Pages The National Railway Museum have 321 and 400 in preservation.

In the long second Bernina Railway series railcars (traffic numbers 21 to 23), seven of the second class seats were omitted in favour of a luggage compartment, and that series was therefore given the class designation BCFe 4/4. (The names of the two series were reduced to writing as BCe4 and BCFe4, respectively.) The same electrical equipment was used for all of these railcars; it was rated as developing at . In comparison with the then preferred green and grey liveries for railway vehicles, the two railcar series clearly stood out, with their yellow livery, black and red shadow lettering and numbering, and striking red route signs. In 1921, railcar no 13 was renumbered as no 15, because some superstitious passengers had been avoiding travelling in it.

Locomotive 507 pulls a freight train in Kingsland, GA, in June 2016 Currently the St. Marys Railroad leases two locomotives; ex-NS 2379 (MP15DC, built as SOU 2379) and ex-NS 2389 (MP15DC, ex-SOU 2389). Annually, St. Marys Railroad moves approximately 1100 carloads of freight and 2000 railcars placed in and out of storage.

The line opened in 1844. Since June 2007 TGV Trains run from Paris Est to Strasbourg, Stuttgart and Munich. Therefore, since 10 June 2007 the Ortenau-S-Bahn has operated railcars every hour (and sometimes every half-hour) between Offenburg and Strasbourg. This change extended previous services to Strasbourg including services formerly ending in Kehl.

About 1.2 kilometres east of the station the main freight tracks cross under the S-Bahn and connect with the mainline tracks at a flying junction. Tracks 7–10 are used as sidings for freight trains and suburban railcars. To the west of the station, the three lines are interconnected at sets of points.

This compensation continued to be paid after the line south of Caen closed. (fr) The coastal routes provided the CFC with good returns but the inland routes did not. Despite the introduction of railcars in the 1920s, the line from Isigny to Balleroy closed on 2 December 1929. The rails were lifted c.1933.

By 1930 the Hull–Scarborough stopping train took 2 hours 15 minutes. Railcars from the Sentinel Waggon Works were introduced in 1930. The 1949 timetable had added eight trains to the Filey Holiday Camp to Newcastle, Sheffield, London, York, Birmingham, and Leeds. In the second half of the 20th century diesel multiple units were introduced.

Emmert International’s fleet of equipment includes unique transportation dollies rated at 35, 50, 60 and 70 tons, self propelled hydraulic platform trailers capable of moving 10,000 tons, prime movers, dolly beam transport systems, low bed trailers, 128 axle lines of Goldhofer trailers, customized over road transport systems, specialized marine loading components and customized railcars.

In 1891, Johann Weitzer founded, as a subsidiary of the Austrian company in the Hungarian part of Austria- Hungary, the John Weitzer Engine- & Waggon-building & Iron Casting Joint-stock Company (; ). It produced locomotives, railway waggons, tramcars (such as 17 items for Temesvár (today Timișoara)), and, since 1903, Weitzer railmotor, Europe's first successful series of railcars.

In February 2011 planning permission was obtained for a station at Oranmore and opened 28 July 2013. All services are operated by 22000 Class railcars. As of 2019, journey times range between 2 hours 11 minutes to 2 hours 37 minutes. 8 services operate in 2 hours 20 mins or less Monday to Friday.

Since this time, the PNGL has been entirely freight only. To augment the expresses and railcars, numerous other mixed trains and local passenger services also once operated on the PNGL between various destinations, including intermediate termini such as Waipukurau, but these had all ceased by the 1960s.Mahoney, Kings of the Iron Road, 51-2.

Railcars were briefly used on the service from 1905. The service on the route declined in later years, in favour of the Taff Vale route which gave better connectivity. Many railway companies adopted railmotors, or "motor cars" as they were described, in the early 1900s. These were single coaches with a small steam engine integrated.

The station opened in 1954 as Higham. The additional station, with two others on the Armadale line, marked the introduction of diesel-mechanical railcars on Perth's metropolitan passenger railways. Higham was renamed Beckenham in 1969. The platforms are staggered across William Street to minimise the time the level crossing is closed to road traffic.

The British Rail Class 153 Super Sprinters are single-coach railcars converted from two-coach Class 155 diesel multiple units in the early 1990s. The class was intended for service on rural and branch lines where passenger numbers do not justify longer trains, or to boost the capacity on trains with high passenger volume.

Mahoney, Kings of the Iron Road, 72 and 75. WW class tanks were also used on the MNPL in this era. After World War II, K and KA locomotives were introduced, the most powerful steam power used on the line. and from the mid-1950s a variety of railcars were introduced for the passenger services.

Their introduction also enabled the retirement of the four DRC railcars from service. In keeping with their intended operation, they feature high-capacity single-class seating and a single-car railmotor design over a multiple unit design, allowing a large number of passengers to be carried with greatly reduced operating costs and increased flexibility.

There were 64 derailments between Calgary and Field between 2004 and 2019. On February 4, 2019, two of the three locomotives and 99 grain hopper railcars of westbound Canadian Pacific train 301 derailed at Mile 130.6, just outside of the western portal of Upper Spiral Tunnel. The three crew members were killed in the accident.

Class 670 railcars were briefly used in 1996, but did not prove themselves in service. Only since the turn of the millennium, has rolling stock use changed fundamentally. Class 425 and 426 electric multiple units are used for passenger services. These should have been replaced by Bombardier Talent 2 (class 442) EMUs in 2010.

A rapid transit system is an electric railway characterized by high speed (~) and rapid acceleration. It uses passenger railcars operating singly or in multiple unit trains on fixed rails. It operates on separate rights-of-way from which all other vehicular and foot traffic are excluded (i.e. is fully grade- separated from other traffic).

TransAdelaide’s railcars nos. 3109/3110 at Alberton with 13.15 Outer Harbor – Adelaide service on 26 May 2005. Alberton railway station was one of the first local stations to open in South Australia. The railway from Adelaide to Port Adelaide was constructed in 1856 and was the first line to be built in South Australia.

These vehicles were extremely popular in the northern reaches of Canada, where factories were set up to produce them. A number of companies built Model T–based railcars. In The Great Railway Bazaar, Paul Theroux mentions a rail journey in India on such a railcar. The New Zealand Railways Department's RM class included a few.

The first of seven low-floor GTW Be 2/6 articulated railcars was put into operation in 1997. The majority of the participants of Oberaargau-Solothurn-Seeland-Transport were merged to form Aare Seeland mobil (ASm) in 1999. The Ligerz-Tessenberg-Bahn joined only in 2003, while the Bielersee-Schiffahrts-Gesellschaft still remains legally independent.

These small, 30-passenger railcars, the Nakeha1 class, were made in Japan by Nippon Sharyō and were powered by a Ford engine. A total of seven were built in 1928 and 1929, and they quickly proved well suited to frequent suburban service due to their low operational costs when compared with locomotive-hauled passenger trains.

The ceilings are finished in gold leaf. The library, overlooking the front lawn, has a Persian theme, evoking the private railcars tycoons like Osgood traveled in. Its walls and shelves are of mahogany, topped with green leather stamped in gold leaf. On the ceiling is a gold leaf border, hand-stenciled in a peacock motif.

Steam railcar Enfield built by William Adams for the Eastern Counties Railway in 1849. Note the raised buffers for use with other rolling stock. From 1847–1849 William Bridges Adams built a number of steam railcars, vehicles with a steam engine for propulsion and passenger accommodation. These were the Express or Lilliputian, Fairfield and Enfield.

Electro-hydraulic spring-loaded brakes served for the first time as holding brakes; these were also retrofitted to the previous series. The cab was scaled down to allow a second door leaf in the right front entry. The fourth and final series, six railcars with the numbers 111–116, were delivered in 1988/1989.

It was the largest employer in Evanston, employing more than 300. The Union Pacific deeded the complex to Evanston in 1974. An overhaul facility for railcars reopened the same year. Starting as the Wyoming Railcar Company, the operation was absorbed by the Lithcote Company, which was in turn acquired by the Union Tank Car Company.

Als in that year, two railcars with Renault-Scemia petrol engines entered service. RS1 was owned by VFIL, and RS2 was owned by the department. Both seated 25, with 15 standing. One of them was initially put into service on the Tv A-PA but by 1926 both were in use between Anvin and Fruges.

Sweetser is home of the Sweetser Switch Trail, a three-mile asphalt trail located in the center of town. The trailhead features two restored railcars and a statue of Garfield. Restrooms, parking and water are available at the trailhead. The trail connects one mile east of Main Street with the Cardinal Greenway in Marion.

Friedrichsdorf station is the end of Rhine-Main S-Bahn line S 5. Also, railcars from the Frankfurt-Königstein Railway, which run on the Taunusbahn stop here. The cross-country connection to the Main-Weser Railway to Friedberg is provided by the Butzbach-Lich Railway. Frankfurt International Airport can easily be reached by road.

In the centre of the yard there is a through track. In the northwest corner, since the introduction of a second running line completed from Bregenz only in 1995, there are several tracks for stabling locomotives and railcars. South of that point there is a new motive power depot with ten tracks. Eight sidings are provided for goods traffic.

The Kaolin Road used to also own cushion underframe boxcars but they were all retired and sold to Norfolk Southern. The other fleet of railcars the company owns is a fleet of large and small covered hoppers used to transport bulk (powder) kaolin clay and a fleet of open-top hoppers for transporting pulpwood chips to paper mills.

All wells are also capable of carrying two 20 ft ISO containers in the bottom position.Guide to Railcars Some double-stack cars have been also equipped with hitches which allow them to carry semi-trailers as well as containers. These are known as "all-purpose" well cars. Articulated well cars typically have a capacity of per well.

In the 1920s, the workshops were further expanded and modernised as part of William Webb's revitalisation of the railways. From then on, the workshops constructed large numbers of bogie freight vehicles, passenger cars and designed and built modern "big power" steam locomotives and, later, diesel locomotives and railcars. A larger erecting shop was built in 1902 at Islington workshops.

The British Rail Class 155 is a diesel multiple unit. These DMUs were built by Leyland Bus at Workington (incorporating some Leyland National bus components) between 1987 and 1988 as part of British Rail's replacement of its ageing first-generation diesel fleet. 42 units were originally built, however only 7 remain; the other 35 units were converted to railcars.

In 2000, 628 diesel multiple units were replaced by modern Talent railcars of class 643. Since the timetable change in December 2008, Desiro trains of class 642 also operate. Previously, local services were mostly operated with Silberling carriages. These were hauled diesel locomotives of class 218; in the winter coupled French locomotives were also sometimes used.

Bike Cars are reconditioned Sumitomo/Nippon Sharyo MARC IIA single-level commuter railcars. One side of each car's interior is lined with bicycle racks which are arranged to secure 23 full-sized, non-collapsible bicycles, and the other side provides seating for 40 passengers. The Bike Car program was expanded during 2015 to include all weekend trains.

The steam motor principle owes much to the work and advocacy of Abner Doble, who was inspired by his earlier work on steam cars. He later worked for Henschel of Germany who built trucks, buses, railcars and even locomotives using his steam motor principle. Doble also designed for Sentinel, particularly for the development of advanced boiler designs.

The railway line along the right shore from Zürich to Rapperswil is known as the Goldcoast Express. On 26 May 1968 service along this route started with unusual wine-red ‘Mirage’ multiple unit railcars which were capable of operating at high speed. This was a further development of the Zürich S-Bahn, which opened in 1990.

The Nidda station precinct covers a large area. In addition to the numerous parked railcars of the Butzbach-Lich Railway Company (Butzbach-Licher Eisenbahn, BLE), which operated services here until 2005, loading sidings, an engine shed and the industrial sidings of a chemical plant are spread over a large area in the southern part of the precinct.

Contrasting railcars at Zermatt. The 1980s were marked by ever increasing numbers of passengers. In particular, there was the continuing success of the Glacier Express. Running from 1982 all year round, its passenger numbers increased from about 20,000 in 1982 to 269,830 in 2005, and contributed to the utilisation of the railway and the reputation of Zermatt.

The new railcars are capable of , but track conditions restrict their top speed to .Prospector Product Sheet UGL Rail These consist of three WDA driving cars, three WDB driving cars without buffet, and one motored WDC non-driving car. These form two 2-car and one 3-car sets. The AvonLink sets consists of one WDA and WDB.

Some passenger services remained on the line via Grunow. The line remained single-track and non-electrified. Due to the lack of traffic on the line, Deutsche Bahn closed passenger services between Grunow and Peitz on 1 June 1996. For some years railcars still ran hourly between Cottbus and Peitz until this traffic was abandoned on 30 May 2000.

The Argentine Government did not make any investment in the railway, so the rolling stock became obsolete. In the 1970s passenger services were served by two old Drewry railcars at . Freight transport had decreased to one or two services in a month. Finally in 1978, the de facto government led by Jorge Videla closed the Puerto Deseado Railway.

Drewry railcars being unloaded in Puerto Deseado, 1949. All the PD&CLH; rolling stock was dismantled and auctioned instead of preserving it from deterioration. Only one railcar made of wood would be preserved. In December 1980 the coach N° 502, that had been built by British company Lancaster in 1898, was declared provincial cultural heritage and therefore preserved.

"Impressive Trials: Rail-Car Service: First in South Island". Evening Post, Issue 28, 1 August 1936, p. 25. Another trial run from Christchurch to Timaru on 31 July 1936 demonstrated that the railcars could cover a distance of 164 km (102 miles) in 2 hours 8 minutes at an average speed of 77 km/h (48 mph).

The locomotive was ordered for the operation of the Milan - Gallarate - Varese railway line, electrified in 1901 by the Rete Mediterranea (RM). It was registered by the RM as RM.01 and was used for both passenger and freight traffic. In addition, twenty railcars were ordered. In 1905 the locomotive was taken over by the Ferrovie dello Stato (FS).

No.2's looks were improved somewhat when the raised drivers' cabs were removed during its NCC service. Railcars Nos.3 and 4 were built in 1935 and 1938 respectively and were virtually identical. Like No.2, they were long with elevated driving positions but there the similarity ended as the cars had "air smoothed" bodywork.

The 205–500 series of JR East operates 4-car sets used on the Sagami Line services since 1991, replacing the all Diesel railcars like the KiHa 30, KiHa 35 & KiHa 36 since it was newly introduced after electrification on the same year. Also have the newest look and among the last batch of 205 series made.

In 1948 NOHAB supplied diesel railcars to the Portuguese Railways (CP), in both (the Série 0100) and versions (the Série 9100). In the 1950s, NOHAB started manufacturing diesel locomotives under licence from Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. The Danish State Railways were a major customer. 35 Di 3 were also delivered to the Norwegian State Railways.

The museum has 3 rooms: Historical Documentation, Peru and Tacna-Arica. In addition, the museum's collection includes documents, photographs, parts and locomotives of the Tacna-Arica Railway. On the tracks and in the locomotive sheds there are four steam locomotives from Baldwin and Alco, as well as three wooden passenger cars, bogies, railcars and other railway vehicles.

Editrice Trasporti su Rotaie, pages 16–19 This line was also used to reach the Stadio Renzo Barbera (Stadio della Favorita) football stadium. In November 1993 a new branch was opened, on the tracks of the railway to Trapani, running diesel railcars type ALn 668. The first two stops were San Lorenzo-Colli and Tommaso Natale.

Due to electrification limits at Lithgow, the Bathurst Bullet is run using the Endeavour railcars, which operate on diesel. The Blue Mountains Line operates over a mostly duplicated section of the Main Western line. As such, the tracks are also traversed by the Central West XPT, Outback Xplorer and Indian Pacific passenger services and by freight trains.

The Coach car, known as "Pullman cars" in Turkey, () were the first batch of railcars to be built and put into service. A total of 176 were built with the first batch entering revenue service in 1993. Coaches have 2+1 seating arrangements with restrooms at either end. Sliding elector-pnuematic doors separate the main compartment from the vestibules.

Eventually, Bush Terminal could handle 50,000 freight railcars at a time. The tracks connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad's New York Connecting Railroad at 65th Street, south of the Brooklyn Army Terminal. There was also a direct connection to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company's trackage at 39th Street, which is now operated by the South Brooklyn Railway.

In 1896 the Fred Harvey Company built the luxurious El Ortiz Hotel here. Thus Lamy became an important railroad junction. In 1992 the spur line was taken over by the Santa Fe Southern Railway, which operated a popular excursion train, using vintage passenger railcars and modern freight cars, between Santa Fe and Lamy. This service concluded in 2014.

Some of the railcars were chlorine tankers bound for the water treatment plant. Another cargo was Kessler Whiskey for the Seagram’s facility in South San Francisco. In a famous incident a whiskey tanker was among cars that rolled off the barge in mid-bay during foul weather. Another cargo was box cars of newsprint for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Materfer owns a factory with 200 machines, mainly electrofusion, folding, sheet metal cutters and overhead crane machines. In the 1980s Materfer employed 2,500 people, mainly in the manufacture of diesel locomotives, coaches and railcars for the Argentine and international markets. The factory produced about one coach per day. Materfer has also produced combine harvesters under the brand "Maraní Agrinar".

This high pressure air supply also worked a whistle mounted above the driving compartment. Finally there was speaking tube communication between the driver and fireman - although there is evidence that this was little used. Steam autocars were gradually withdrawn as the LNER introduced Sentinel steam railcars. The coaches were converted back to normal coaches but the BTPs were withdrawn.

On diesel and electric locomotives and railcars, sandboxes were and are fitted close to the wheels so as to achieve the shortest possible length of delivery pipe.George T. Drew, Sand-Box for Cars, U.S. Patent 458,621, Feb. 20, 1891. Depots may have a sand drier installed to warm and to dry the sand before it is used.

Because of its key position in the rail network (between Nord, Picardy, Paris and Le Havre), the German army made use of the Abancourt station. Anti-aircraft railcars were used to protect convoys. The station was bombed multiple times by squadrons of the Royal Air Force. Reinforced concrete shelters remain in place today beside the sidings.

Railcars under multiple-unit train control Ringzug services are operated by DMUs former by 20 Stadler Regio-Shuttle RS1 sets. They differ from other vehicles of this type in that there are sockets at some seats for laptop use. There is also one ticket machine in each railcar. All are air conditioned and have a toilet.

From 1955 until 1990, air- conditioned 800/900 class trains, known as DEB sets, provided service to Canberra as the Canberra Monaro Express, replacing the steam hauled Federal City Express. The DEB sets were also used on some South Coast Line and Southern Highlands Line commuter services until they were replaced by Endeavour railcars in 1994.

Most other US commuter rail systems and other Amtrak stations have low-level platforms to accommodate freight service, with mini-high platforms or portable lifts to reach the -high floors of bilevel railcars. Coaster uses platforms. Once electrified, new Caltrain trains will be equipped for both platform heights in anticipation of sharing facilities with California High-Speed Rail trains.

The line is double track from Adelaide to Midlunga, then single for the final three kilometres to Outer Harbour. The northern section of the line runs along the middle of the narrow Lefevre Peninsula with stations at regular intervals.Outer Harbor & Grange timetable Adelaide Metro 23 February 2014 The line's services are operated by 3000 class railcars.

NSB introduced the first diesel multiple unit with the introduction of "lightning trains" that corresponded with coach services that connected with the Kragerø Line. The first were Class 14 railcars. These reduced travel time from Flekkefjord to Stavanger by 50 minutes to 3 hours 15 minutes. In addition to passengers, major cargo were herring and lumber.

Kolzam RegioVan - a series of railcars produced in Poland, produced by Kolzam in Racibórz in 2003-2005 and by Fablok in Chrzanów in between 2011-2012. Kolzam jointly produced: two single units (SA107 - 211M type) and 10 double units (SA109 - 212M type), the eleventh railcar was produced by Fablok. There had not been any triple units produced.

The first floor was divided into railcar receiving, railcar shipping, country parcel shipping, city delivery and city receiving. The building was large enough to unload three railcars simultaneously. By 1921, Sexton had established distribution warehouses in San Francisco, Dallas and Omaha. This was done partly to improve customer service by reducing the time between order and delivery.

The Great Northern Railway of Ireland (GNRI) AEC Class were Associated Equipment Company (AEC)–engined diesel multiple units (normally termed railcars in Ireland) that operated InterCity and suburban services on the GNRI and later Ulster Transport Authority (UTA) systems between 1950 and 1975. They were finally withdrawn in 1972. They were the inspiration for the CIÉ 2600 Class.

Tramelan station after the electrification of the TT and the opening of the TBN. Electrical operations at 1200 volts DC commenced on 15 November 1913. The reason for the electrification was the opening of the meter-gauge, electrically operated Tramelan-Breuleux-Noirmont Railway (TBN). For electric operations, the TT procured two BCe 2/4 railcars (nos.

After integration in the Allgäu-Swabia clock face service the frequency of trains was increased and then new railcars were put into service. In 2002, Lechfeld railway celebrated its 125th anniversary. On 21 October 2012, the Graben (Lechfeld)-Gewerbepark station opened between Oberottmarshausen and Lagerlechfeld. It will improve connections to an industrial park, which was opened in recent years.

In addition there is a direct Fridays only service to Ballina from Dublin, operated by 22000 class Intercity railcars. There are also several freight services carrying timber or containers from the branch which run to Waterford. These are generally worked by 071 and 201 class locomotives. The line was original operatered by the Midland Great Western Railway.

17 From 1918 to 1928 he worked for William Beardmore and Company designing high speed diesel engines. These engines had various applications ranging from use in railcars to the R101 airship. In 1929 he was nominated as Conservative candidate for the parliamentary constituency of Manchester Platting.The Manchester Group: Unionist Challenge to Labour, The Times, 15 May 1929, p.

In addition, there is a commuter service, forming part of the Limerick Suburban Rail network, which has one train from Nenagh to Limerick. The commuter train service runs Mondays to Fridays. On Sundays there is one train in each direction, Limerick- Ballybrophy.Limerick-Ballybrophy timetable Services on the line are formed of IE 2800 Class (diesel) railcars.

The line was opened 1 June 1899, and extended to Nyon in Switzerland in 1904. In the sixties, there were four services per day using 'Picasso' diesel railcars. The last passenger train ran on 31 May 1980. Since then, the passenger service has been replaced by a TER bus service from Bellegarde-sur-Valserine to Divonne- les-Bains.

The General American Marks Company is a part of GATX Corporation, formerly the General American Transportation Company. Which has headquarters in Chicago, GATX Corporation owns businesses that lease railcars, locomotives, and aircraft. Some past and present locomotive and railcar reporting marks for GATX companies, including General American Marks Company and GATX Rail, are GABX, GACX, GATX, GSCX and GCCX.

Nitronic 30 is used to lighten transportation vehicles. Buses and railcars benefit from the high strength-to-weight ratio for energy savings, with less steel used for the application. Nitronic 40 is used in the aerospace industry as hydraulic tubing. Nitronic 40 has unusually good performance characteristics at ultralow temperatures, which offers a "design advantage" over comparable alloys.

About 410 cars were built from 1961 to 1966. After about 50 years of service, they were replaced by newer railcars. The last units, 30 62, 30 98 and 30 100, were withdrawn from service in December 2012. The units used on Kururi Line services were withdrawn on 1 December 2012, and were replaced by KiHa E130 series units.

The units were railcars capable of hauling carriages as a multiple unit. They originally had two Deutsche Werke gasoline prime movers, each with an effort of for a total power output of . They had a fuel tank capable of . With their original fuel usage of 1.6 liters per kilometer, they could run before needing to be refueled.

The station has since been fully restored by the Collier County Museums, and is now operated as the Naples Depot Museum. Exhibits focus on the history of transportation and trade in Southwest Florida. Displays include railroads, Seminole dugout canoes, a mule wagon and an antique swamp buggy. Vintage railcars are also on display outside of the building.

Alexander McDonnell GS&WR; Class 2 Kerry bogies were specifically intended for passenger services on the line. There was a trial of a Drumm Battery Train with temporary charging points set up on the line, line would have been in the late 1930s or 1940s. Class 22000 ICR railcars first began passenger services on the line in September 2008.

These were fitted with Unic M24 diesel engines. Numbered ARB3-5 and CGL6-7, they seated 29 with eleven standing. All railcars were second class only. By 1939, the CF AC was almost breaking even, despite increased competition from road transport. World War II broke out on 3 September, with Calais falling into German hands on 25 May 1940.

In 1951, a Billard A80D2 railcar was bought from the CF Vendée. In 1951/52 two Billard A150D6 railcars and three trailers were bought from the Tramways d'Ille-et-Vilaine. On 31 September 1952, the Anvin-Fruges section was closed to all traffic. In 1945-55, railcar CGL1 was rebuilt at Lumbres. It re-entered service in February 1955.

8 August 2012. Retrieved 14 August 2015. It handles end-to-end bulk transportation of vehicles and parts from the assembly line to destination utilizing specialized railcars with additional services including tracking, inspection, repair, and final mile delivery. In 2014, it invested in high-capacity rail rakes to gear up for expanded service through its AutoLinx service.

The United Fruit Co., now Chiquita, began shipping bananas from South America by steamship to New Orleans. The bananas were loaded onto railcars on top of blocks of ice for the trip north. Fulton had the only ice house on the route north to Chicago. The bananas were re-iced with blocks from the Fulton Ice Plant, now closed.

The 2600 Class were the first modern set of diesel railcars purchased by Iarnród Éireann, who for several years had only run multiple units on the electrified DART service. A total of seventeen individual railcars were constructed by the Tokyu Car Corporation in Japan and delivered between 1993 and 1994 for use on the commuter service between Dublin and Kildare. The stock were the first rolling stock to be delivered in Arrow livery, initially used to refer solely to the Dublin-Kildare commuter service upon which they were deployed, although they were rebranded in 2003 to the new Commuter livery. They were the very last Iarnród Éireann rolling stock to be shipped with the firm's original IR logo, though this was replaced with the IÉ version shortly after the trains entered service.

Gottlieb Daimler's railcars "tirelessly ferrying passengers around the Bremen showground as if by magic". Simms in his Motor Scout, in June 1899. Engineer Frederick Richard Simms was supervising construction of an aerial cableway of his own design for the Bremen Exhibition in 1889 when he saw tiny railcars powered by Gottlieb Daimler's motors. Simms, who had been born to English parents in Hamburg and raised by them there, became friends with Daimler, an Anglophile who had worked from autumn 1861 to summer 1863 at Beyer-Peacock in Gorton, Manchester.Press Kit: Mercedes-Benz in the UK. Stuttgart, 13 June 2007; Daimler Global MediaChristoph Ehland, editor, Thinking Northern: Textures of Identity in the North of England Editions Rodopi, Amsterdam, 2007 Simms introduced Daimler’s motors to England in 1890 to power launches.

In Southland, the Model T Ford railcars were assigned to the Waikaia and the Wyndham (Glenham) branches and began operating in late May 1926. These two lines were similar in some ways to the Greytown Branch; although they did not have multiple shuttle services to connect with mainline trains, they served small towns with insufficient demand for locomotive-hauled carriage passenger trains. Previously, the two lines had been served by mixed trains that carried both passengers and freight, and as they had to load and unload freight along the way, trip times were slow and thus unpopular. It was hoped the Model T Ford railcars would rejuvenate traffic and provide some measure of profitability, especially on the section of the Wyndham Branch from Wyndham to Glenham, which was so underutilised that it was facing closure.

The terminal was built as a dual gauge station being served by the standard gauge Ghan, Indian Pacific and Trans-Australian to the north, and the broad gauge Overland to the south-east. It was also served by regional trains operated by South Australian Railways Bluebird railcars and Commonwealth Railways CB class railcars, and all SA regional trains ceased operation by 1990. The Adelaide to Melbourne line was converted to standard gauge in 1995, and The Overland became a standard-gauge train. Adelaide is the only city in the world where passengers can catch trains on both north-south and east-west transcontinental routes, The Ghan,Ghan Timetable April 2019 to March 2020 Great Southern Rail (to Alice Springs and Darwin), and the Indian Pacific, (to Sydney and Perth).

The evening service, which by then ran solely on Fridays and Sundays, had been the final domain of the Standard railcars, but they too were replaced by the 88-seaters after the last run of an 88-seater on the morning service on 17 December 1972.Hurst, Farewell to Steam, 71. However, the 88-seaters were ageing and plagued by reliability problems, and on 30 July 1977 all passenger trains between Wellington and New Plymouth were cancelled, thus ending passenger service between Marton and Stratford. The railcars replacing the New Plymouth Night Express had ceased to operate the Auckland-Taumarunui section since 1971, and when they were withdrawn after 11 February 1978, a diesel- hauled carriage train was introduced on the New Plymouth to Stratford and Taumarunui run.

Although the Express had always been augmented by slower mixed trains, the Taranaki Flyer was introduced in 1926 as an alternative service between Wanganui and New Plymouth, and in April 1938 the RM class Standard railcars began operating an evening service between Wellington and New Plymouth. The railcars eventually took over from the Express, but not for almost two decades. During the 1930s, the Great Depression impacted the Expresss loadings, reducing it from nine or ten carriages to only six, but as the economy improved it expanded to eight or nine carriages by the start of World War II, equipped with the most modern carriages. During the War, the Express's carriages were dispersed and it ran with a wide variety of rolling stock; this situation was not rectified until it was re-equipped in 1948.

Despite the efforts to make a reliable locomotive for the Argentine railways, the GAIA machines did not satisfy the expectations and many units would be removed from circulations, remaining only a few locomotives serving at FA. In 1958 Sociedad Material Ferroviario ("Materfer") was established by Fiat Ferroviaria, through Fiat Concord, a consortium formed by many FIAT subsidiaries operating in Argentina. The company built a factory to manufacture rolling stock in the country to provide goods for FA."Materfer" on Ferrocarriles del Sud, 2 Oct 2011 That same year the Ministry of Transport of Argentina signed an agreement with Fiat Ferroviaria to acquire 210 brand- new railcars. Those machines were formed by 2 units powered by a FIAT diesel engine at 660 HP. The railcars could reach speeds of 115 km/h.

One of the earlier, more-streamlined GWR diesel railcars, still in British Railways service in May 1956 An early petrol railcar was the 1903 Petrol Electric Autocar built by the North Eastern Railway. In 1914 the London and North Western Railway commissioned a petrol-electric railcar, although this was converted into a driving trailer in 1924. After World War I more powerful diesel engines were available and in 1928 the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) commissioned a four-car diesel-electric multiple unit using a Beardmore engine, similar to that used on the airship R101, placed in a power car that had been used on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's electrified line from Bury to Holcombe Brook. In the early 1930s Armstrong Whitworth built three railcars for the LMS, LNER and Southern Railway.

The first railcars of this type were built in 1970 for the New South Wales Government Railways as 1200 class railcars. The Victorian Railways decided to order two railcars of the same design, to replace the 280hp Walker railmotors then in use. The first DRC entered service in May 1971, classified DRC40, followed by DRC41 on November 1971.Peter J Vincent: DRC - Tulloch Diesel Rail Car The NSW fleet suffered numerous failures in service, and by 1974 the NSW Public Transport Commission had decided to withdraw the cars from service. Eight of them were converted to loco-hauled carriages in 1982, and used on the South Coast Daylight Express until January 1991, and on Moss Vale and Goulburn services until November 1993."South Coast timetable" Railway Digest April 1991 page 114"Loco-Hauled Car Changes" Railway Digest February 1994 page 36 In 1974, the Victorian Railways purchased two of the withdrawn NSW 1200-class cars and modified them for Victorian use. They entered service as DRC42 (formerly PCH 1224) and DRC43 (formerly PCH 1227) in August and December 1975 respectively. Problems with reliability had emerged by the late 1970s, and a modification program was carried out at the Bendigo Workshops in 1983 and 1984.VictorianRailways.

In May 2000, the Airport & East Hills line opened. In July 2002, the first of 141 M set carriages entered service.Performance Audit - The Millennium Train Project Audit Office of New South Wales June 2003 In November 2006, the first of seven two-carriage Hunter railcars entered service. In December 2006, the first of 221 Oscar carriages entered service on the South Coast Line.

As of 9 December 2012, the line was included the Rostock S-Bahn network and since then it has been operated as part of the new line S3 (Güstrow–Rostock Hbf–Warnemünde ) every hour or, on weekends, every two hours. It is operated with Bombardier Talent railcars. Mierdorf station was abandoned from that date. Glasewitz station had already closed in the mid-1990s.

The Highliner is a bilevel Electric Multiple Unit railcar. The original series of railcars were built in 1971 by the St. Louis Car Company for commuter service on the Illinois Central Railroad, in south Chicago, Illinois, with an additional batch later produced by Bombardier. A second generation featuring a completely new design was produced by Nippon Sharyo beginning in 2005.

After Lauterecken, the river valley widens considerably, so there are fewer bridges. Shortly before Meisenheim, the Glan Valley Railway runs through Meisenheim tunnel. Battery railcars on the Nahe bridge of the Glan Valley Railway near Staudernheim The line forks at Odernheim. A branch opened in 1897, which still exists, runs in a wide arc and ends near the Disibodenberg in Staudernheim.

Bogies are of the Budd designed Pioneer III variety and while lightweight, provide for a very bouncy ride. The married pair cars shared a single motor control unit and automatic operation box. Many PATCO Car design features also appeared in the M1/M3 class of MU railcars for the Long Island Rail Road which provides for a similar riding experience.

The Long Island Rail Road owns an electric fleet of 836 M7 and 170 M3 electric multiple unit cars, and 134 C3 bilevel rail cars powered by 24 DE30AC diesel-electric locomotives and 19 DM30AC dual-mode locomotives.

The MR-90 is a class of single-level electric multiple unit (EMU) railcars built in 1994-1995 by Bombardier Transportation for the Société de Transport de la Communauté Urbaine de Montreal (STCUM) and now operated by Exo. These cars were ordered when the Deux-Montagnes line was completely rebuilt from 1993 to 1995 and all the equipment and infrastructure was replaced.

After the departure of Dodge, the company expanded into the railcar repairing business in 1880s. Rhodes and Curry acquired Harris Car Works and Foundry of Saint John, NB in 1893 and moved operations to Amherst. Rhodes Curry Company began operations in 1891 and began building railcars for railways in the region. The company expanded with branch plants in New Glasgow, Sydney and Halifax.

The Surfliner is a family of bi-level intercity railcars derived from the California Car. Like its predecessor, it is derived from the Superliner in design, and operated on Amtrak California's intercity routes in California. They are owned by both Amtrak and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Alstom delivered the first order of cars for Amtrak between 2000 and 2001.

From 1969 to 1972, ČSD operated its recently developed M 296.1 railcars with a top speed of . The Vindobona trains continued to be operated by DMUs until it became evident that they were no longer able to cope in terms of capacity. In 1979 they were replaced by a composition comprising an electric locomotive coupled with individual carriages.Zdeněk Michl: Vindobona, zelpage.

The company's peak years were May 1941 to April 1942, when 51,743 tons of coal were sold. During this time, 30 truckers were paid 35 cents per ton to load and haul the coal from pits to the railcars. In 1947, Ben Dollarhide bought out the Runkel Company and formed the Dewey County Coal Company. Dollarhide added a large tipple to speed loading.

They are usually provided with an onboard generator system and air conditioning. They are primarily used on long distance freight trains in Australia, where train crew sign on at one depot, and alternate crewing the train during the journey. The car is usually marshalled a few carriages behind the locomotives. Most crew cars have been converted from older passenger carriages, or depowered railcars.

A different type of dual-clutch transmission has been used in some railcars. The two clutches are placed one on the gearbox input shaft and the other on the gearbox output shaft. To make a gear change, both clutches disengage simultaneously and a brake inside the gearbox engages. The gearchange occurs with all gears stationary, so no synchronizing mechanism is needed.

In total, six of its own vehicles and two Deutsche Bahn railcars have a covered stabling area. Freight traffic plays a decreasing role on the Gäu Railway. The only dedicated tracks for freight traffic are in the Horb- Heiligenfeld industrial area. The last major transport of timber was carried out after the storm damage of the Lothar and Kyrill cyclones.

In 1936, the Wairarapa railcars started doing the Wairarapa runs, decreasing the frequency of the express and ultimately leading to its cancellation in 1948. No named provincial express has operated on the Wairarapa Line since this time.Mahoney, Kings of the Iron Road, pg. 83. In the 20th century, prior to electrification, WAB and WW class tank locomotives typically hauled suburban trains.

Windshield wipers and washers were not provided. Each half-locomotive had two axles with leaf springs. The four 150-horsepower traction motors were mounted coaxially on the axles, with a bellcrank linkage to the wheels, similar to that also used for the Valtellina electric railcars. The wheels and motors were covered by sloping bonnets, each equipped with four doors to allow maintenance.

On conclusion of the work in 1991 the capacity of the line increased by almost 100%. Journey times were reduced to 25 minutes uphill and 35 minutes downhill, thanks to two modern double railcars. The trains are able to operate every half an hour. Today 20 employees work on the rack railway, but it is still reliant on equalization payments.

The first test and training runs of the new railcars was originally planned to begin in April 2013, but they were delayed to the end of July because of delays in the approval process and the provision of funds by the State of Baden-Württemberg. The operations division first used a Talent 2 in passenger service on 9 September 2013.

This vehicle, DB Class 488.0 (Panorama train) is a unique piece. The train consists of two railcars and a sidecar in between. It was created by conversion from old cars of the ET / EB 167, the later series 477/877. While the car body is largely a new build, many technical components of end-of-life vehicles were taken over in 1997-99.

Cergue section followed on 5 December 1985. As part of this modernisation, new rolling stock was purchased, and arrived starting in autumn 1985. These were new automotrice (powered driving railcars) and matching voitures pilote (driving trailers). During the transitional phase in the line voltage, the old cars were able to continue in service after the reduction in voltage, but at reduced speed.

The most loaded merchandise were sheep, wool, agricultural products, limestone and lead. Trains also carried zinc, iron and copper that came from Chile by Buenos Aires Lake and then carried in trucks to Las Heras. In 1949 brand-new railcars were added to the line, what contributed to increase the number of passengers. The State also built houses for employees of the railway.

The station is located in the basement of the terminal (level K) and is connected with it via steps, escalators and lifts. There is also a set of emergency exit stairs in the northern part of the platform. After its completion, the station initially had no overhead wires. Diesel railcars were used and exhaust gas extractors operated on the platform.

Express service is between major cities and are fast, comfortable and equipped with modern air conditioned TVS2000 railcars and only stop at important stations. Express trains have an average operating speed of to . The most express service is between İstanbul and Eskişehir with 8 trains daily in each direction. Express service also has overnight trains between major cities far apart (e.g. İstanbul-Kars).

In 1945, those Weitzer railmotors that still existed in Hungary, became property of Hungarian State Railway MÁV. Six of them were transferred to BHÉV (Budapesti Helyiérdekű Vasút / Budapest Commuter Railway) in 1960. It updated two of these railcars, exchanging the petrol engines for diesel engines, and hiding the radiators on the roofs by parapets. Another car was given to a museum.

Two X 73500 railcars in the station, serving the Dol-de-Bretagne route. The station is at an altitude of . It is at kilometer point (KP) 169.940 of the Lison to Lamballe line, between the Hisse and Corseul stations. It was at the start of lines to Saint-Énogat and La Brohinière, both of which were closed in the 1990s.

In Gernrode and Nordhausen Nord are the locomotive depots for the Selke Valley Railway. The diesel railcars of the Selke Valley Railway are based in Nordhausen Nord. Both locomotives and motor coaches are serviced and the steam locomotives are fueled and cleaned. The rolling stock of the Selke Valley Railway, like all HSB rolling stock, are maintained in Wernigerode-Westerntor.

Original Dux logo. Below is written - Bicycles, Motoreves, Railcars, Airplanes Dux () was a bicycle/automobile/aircraft factory in Moscow, Russia before and during World War I. The factory was founded in 1893. The name comes from the Latin word dux (leader). Y. A. Meller was owner of the factory which was primarily focused on the building of French aircraft designs.

I and II, 1921, Vol. I, pp. 131-155 A total of 96 8-inch guns (reportedly including spare Navy Marks 1 through 4 as well as M1888 guns) were considered available for railway mounting, and 47 were ordered to be mounted on railcars. Twenty-four were produced before the Armistice, and three of these had been shipped to France by that time.

CPR tugboats could push up to two barges at once, and with barges capable of holding up to ten railcars at one time this was no small feat. When transporting two barges, Naramata would be wedged between them from astern, resulting in a "V"-shape that allowed for easy maneuvering. Alternately, barges could also be pulled from behind the tugs.

Diesel railcars were introduced on the line in 1930. The Koumi - Saku-Uminokuchi section was opened in 1932 by Japanese National Railways (JNR), which also opened the Kobuchizawa -- Kiyosato section in 1933. The Saku Railway was nationalised in 1934, and the Saku-Uminokuchi - Kiyosato section opened in 1935, completing the line. In July 2017, JR East launched the tourist train High Rail 1375.

In the second half of the 1960s, the railway underwent major reconstruction during preparations for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in 1970. Since 1970, the railway provides only passenger service. At the beginning of the 21st century, the old ČSD Class EMU 89.0 trains built by ČKD in the 1960s were replaced by new Stadler GTW ZSSK Class 425.95 railcars.

Suburbs and new satellite towns sprang up. From the 1920s, a number of 'suburban' train services were established to Merbein and Red Cliffs.The Mildura Suburban Train Service McLean, Bruce Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, September, 1978 pp189-205 These were operated by railcars. Post war Mildura experienced a large influx of migrants particularly from European and Mediterranean countries including Italy and Greece.

In later years, regular passenger duties included trains on the Rosslare to Waterford/Limerick lines, until they were superseded by railcars on these duties. The remaining locomotives, nos. B141, B142, 144, 146, 147, 152, 162, 171, 175 and 177, were finally withdrawn in February 2010. However, 171 was reinstated for a short time, and was confined to pilot duties in the Dublin area.

The Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) 2600 Class were Associated Equipment Company (AEC)–engined diesel multiple units (normally termed railcars in Ireland) that operated InterCity and suburban services on the CIÉ system between 1952 and 1975. Many were later converted for push–pull operation with diesel locomotives, finally being withdrawn when displaced by the electric Dublin Area Rapid Transit service in the mid-1980s.

Various carriages were fitted or retrofitted with jumper cables to allow their operation in a railcar train. There were at least 88 trailers in total, including pre-1950s stock (one example dating from 1902), 1950s CIÉ vehicles, other 1950s stock from Park Royal Vehicles (manufacturer of the railcars' own bodywork) and 1960s Cravens vehicles.Flanagan, pp. 187–88. Examples included three composite (i.e.

Carse, p. 179 Two special Park Royal trailer vehicles for service on the isolated Waterford and Tramore Railway were built in 1955. These vehicles, like the railcars they worked with, had high-density seating arrangements. One of them was, additionally, fitted out as a driving trailer, with a guard's compartment at the non-cab end and a large area set aside for prams.

Howth Junction. In 1971, with the process of modifying railcars for suburban operations still underway, work began on the first conversions to push–pull stock for service with the then recently re-engined 201 Class locomotives. The conversion was intended to address both the cars' poor power-to-weight ratio and the increasing difficulties in obtaining spare parts for their engines.Cuffe, p.

The station house was razed around April, 1964 but the station stop itself continued to operate until March 16, 1998. This station, along with nine others around that time were closed due to low ridership, which did not make it very cost-effective to build high-level platforms to support the new C3 railcars the LIRR was procuring at the time.

X7 was a series of electric railcars operated by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) of Sweden as local trains. 26 motor cars were built, with an additional 22 trailers, by ASEA in 1949–51. They were put into service on the predecessors to the Skåne and Gothenburg commuter rail systems. The X7 was in service until 1983, when it was replaced with X10.

On April 29, 1992 of the Hartford & Slocomb was abandoned between Taylor and Hartford. The remainder was sold by the Itel Corporation to Gulf & Ohio subsidiary H and S Railroad. Primary traffic consisted of railcars moving to and from a repair facility near Taylor. The railroad remained relatively unchanged until August 30, 2006 when it was sold to Genesee & Wyoming.

A special vehicle or crane is used to load and unload them.Kalmar power to drive Stora Enso cargo units operation for Port of Kotka Special railcars are also needed. They can be transported on truck ferries, but they don't fit normal container ships. The benefit is that their much higher weight reduces the number of containers and therefore reduces handling cost.

In Japan, starting in the 1920s, some petrol–electric railcars were produced. The first diesel–electric traction and the first air-streamed vehicles on Japanese rails were the two DMU3s of class Kiha 43000 (キハ43000系). Japan's first series of diesel locomotives was class DD50 (国鉄DD50形), twin locomotives, developed since 1950 and in service since 1953.

The remaining in Berlin vehicles were processed after the war, renumbered in 1958 and reversed until 1975 at the West Berlin subway. In total, three railcars have been preserved. Tw 563 and 588 (or 1316 and 1338) have now been converted into a museum train. The third Tw 603 (or 1352) is in the Monument Hall of the German Museum of Technology Berlin.

This included much of the former SAR infrastructure, rolling stock and staff. The STA retained ownership and responsibility for all the suburban railway system around Adelaide, including the centrally located Adelaide railway station, the entire fleet of Redhen railcars and two 830 class diesel locomotives. At the same time, the separate Rail and Bus & Tram Divisions of the STA were combined.

The Kurhessenbahn has a total of 65 stations (50 of its own) on a 275-kilometre network of five lines. 25 diesel railcars travel 2.5 million train kilometers (140 trains per day) and carry 6,500 passengers per day. This service is provided by 208 employees. The Kurhessenbahn also has a DB Class 218 diesel locomotive for freight and special transports.

Y3 was a series of diesel railcars operated by Statens Järnvägar (SJ) of Sweden. Six units were delivered by Linke-Hofmann of Germany in 1966–67, with electrical equipment supplied by ASEA. They remained in service until 1990, serving first on the unelectrified services Stockholm – Mora and Malmö – Karlskrona, later on Ystadbanan. The Y3 served the same purpose as the electric X9-series.

The number of trains has been increased on the weekends. Services are operated with LINT 41 railcars. At the time of the acquisition of the SHB by the AKN, it also terminated the lease of the Neumünster–Heide line. DB Netz also took over the line’s maintenance again and straightened the line to remove numerous speed restrictions, which had significantly lengthened travel times.

The Red Terror was a four-wheel railcar built in 1934 and used by the general manager of New Zealand Railways, Garnet Mackley, for six years for inspections of the railway system, and to demonstrate the potential for using petrol- and diesel-powered railcars in New Zealand. The railcar could carry 7 people plus the driver. It was given the classification RM 1.

1, 1994, pp. 1. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/724301. restructured American Presidential Lines, which became the largest American shipping company in the Pacific in the 80s; and found alternate uses for state-owned railcars when freight trains declined in popularity in the 90s. The firm also employed Burunda Prince, who would go on to become the first female consultant of color at Bain & Company.

In 1998, the station and forecourt were significantly restructured. The Dachau–Altomünster railway was integrated into Munich S-Bahn in 1995. At that time, diesel railcars were used, and the railway operated under a separate entity called "Line A". Its electrification was delayed several times, but was eventually finished in 2014. Since then, some S2 services have been diverted onto the Altomünster branch.

This led to the passing of the Civil Rights Act in Congress, which gave not only equal access to railcars, but also equal access in public facilities like theaters and hotels. The Jim Crow laws became more apparent in the mid 1880s, when railroad companies admitted that they were trying to move their non-white passengers into a certain car.

For its standard gauge operations, Commonwealth Railways purchased G, K, KA, C, CA, CN and L class steam locomotives. From 1951 it purchased Clyde Engineering built GM and CL class diesel locomotives. It also purchased three CB railcars. For its narrow gauge operations, NC, NSU, NT and NJ diesels were purchased to replace steam locomotives inherited from the South Australian Railways in 1911.

In October 2006 RailCorp issued a tender for the refurbishment of the Xplorer and Endeavour railcars. The contract specified new seating, buffet upgrades, new carpets, toilet upgrades, DVA upgrades, extended booked luggage section, and more wheelchair spaces for the trains. Bombardier Transportation, Downer Rail and United Group Rail responded, with Bombardier being the successful bidder. All units were repainted into new CountryLink colours.

In 1912, Winton started producing diesel engines for stationary and marine use, and gasoline engines for heavy vehicles, independent of Winton's automobile production. The subsidiary Winton Engine Company remained successful while Winton's automotive sales went into decline and would outlive the Winton Motor Carriage Company. Winton became the main supplier of engines for internal combustion-electric powered railcars in the 1920s.

The line was initially served by a thrice weekly mixed train; this was later reduced to twice weekly. Once the line from Bruce Rock to Merredin was opened in December 1913, a through service was introduced. In 1938, a thrice weekly through service from Perth to Merredin was introduced with ADE railcars. This reduced the travel time from 17 hours to eight.

The Kyushu Railway Co. opened the Yoshizuka - Sasaguri section in 1904, and extended it to Hakata with a line paralleling the Kagoshima Main Line the following year. The company was nationalised in 1907. In 1911 the Kagoshima Main line was duplicated utilising the parallel line, and the junction between the lines became Yoshizuka. Petrol railcars were introduced on the line in 1936.

Regular operation with electric locomotives was introduced on 25 November 1944. To begin with, Class 64 railcars were used. NSB had originally planned to use electric multiple units, but changed the plans during the war and instead decided to use locomotives and cars.Gubberud & Sunde (1992): 64 The Class 64 trains remained in service on the Flåm Line until May 1947.

The export of pyrites was a gigantic success for Orkla, with both production and prices exceeding the estimates. During the economic difficult World War I the company replaced the tracks used tracks with new track in 1915. In 1916, two new locomotives were bought. Also the passenger and cargo traffic increased in the period, and in 1910 two more railcars were delivered.

During the 1950s, the effect of commercial airlines and private cars started to reduce patronage on New Zealand's passenger trains significantly. Although the introduction of railcars prolonged the life of many other provincial services in New Zealand, it was not successful for the Taranaki Flyer. On 7 February 1959, the service ran for the last time. The final train no.

21, 1898); page 524. The term mixed drive train came to be used at the turn of twentieth century. The Pieper system was applied to Belgian (Vicinal tramway) and French (Compagnie des Chemins de Fer de Grande Banlieue) railcars as early as 1911. La Nature, 1921 Bulletin de la société d'encouragement pour l'industrie nationale, 1924 The Thomas system, manufactured by Thomas Transmission Ltd.

By 1938, following the introduction of railcars, a certain amount of rationalisation took place on all lines. Some stations and halts were downgrade to arrêts. All freight facilities were withdrawn from arrêts and those trains that did call we by request only. The line closed to passengers on 1 July 1949 and also to freight north of Acheux at the same time.

Four people were killed and another 16 injured.Nancy Swarbrick. 'Railway accidents - Types of accidents', Te Ara - the Encyclopedia of New Zealand, updated 26-Nov-10, retrieved 4 January 2011. The railcars were replaced by the "Blue Fern" on Wednesdays for three years until May 1984, to allow the two remaining railcar sets to be serviced while the damaged set was being repaired.

The film was shot in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada in June 1989. The train used for both interior and exterior scenes consisted of a BC Rail SD40-2 diesel locomotive and 12 privately owned passenger railcars, all painted in Via Rail Canada livery to represent the Toronto-Vancouver passenger train. Some of the distant exterior shots were filmed using a model train.

In 1917, the first pulp and paper mill was established in Port Arthur. It was followed by a mill at Fort William, in 1920. Eventually there were four mills operating. Manufacturing resumed in 1937 when the Canada Car and Foundry Company plant (opened for the manufacture of naval ships and railcars during the late World War I) re-opened to build British aircraft.

The New York Central MU Cars were built for the New York Central Railroad in 1906–1929 when the New York Central began electrifying its lines for both the Hudson Division and the Harlem Division. These were the first electric multiple units ever bought by the New York Central Railroad. They were retired between 1950-1973 by the ACMUs and M1A railcars.

The CN electric multiple units were a fleet of electric multiple unit (EMU) railcars built in 1952 by Canadian Car and Foundry (CCF) for the Canadian National Railway for use on the Deux-Montagnes line in Montreal. The cars remained in use until June 2, 1995 when the reconstruction started. The MR-90 entered service late in 1995. Several have been preserved.

All the steam railcars were sold, and most of the steam locomotives remained on the still unelectrified branch line. A few were sent to the Waldviertler Schmalspurbahnen. By implementing their intentions, many concepts were realized for which there had been no precedent. The experience garnered from the electrification proved to be the benchmark for later projects of the same kind.

A small celebration took place on 13 May. Electrical operations should have been started on the entire network of the Südostbahn at the timetable change on 15 May 1939. However, the railway did not have its own electric rolling stock at this time. The eight railcars (CFZe 4/4 and BCFZe 4/4) ordered in 1938 had not yet been delivered.

The Overlander was a long-distance rail passenger train between Auckland and Wellington in the North Island of New Zealand, along the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT). It was operated by Tranz Scenic. The service was replaced from 25 June 2012, by the Northern Explorer. The Overlander replaced a previous service operated by RM class Silver Fern railcars on Monday 2 December 1991.

This disciplinary philosophy has been reinforced by example designs in the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries, where feedstocks have been transported as fluids in pipelines, large tanker ships, and railcars. Fluids, by definition are materials that flow and can be transferred using pumps or gravity. Therefore, large pumps, valves, and pipelines exist to transfer large amounts of fluids in the process industries.

The line branches off at Bergen auf Rügen station from the Stralsund–Sassnitz railway. It runs southeast, through Putbus to Lauterbach Mole and ends on the shore of the Rügischer Bodden. In Putbus there is a junction with the steam-operated, narrow gauge Rügen Light Railway to Göhren via the Baltic Sea resort of Binz. Standard-gauge trains are diesel railcars.

During those years, a cooperative named "Ferroser" announced the reopening of the Ringuelet-Brandsen line, using 7131 railcars. Nevertheless, the project was never carried out. A short revival of the 7131 occurred in 2008, when defunct company Trenes Especiales Argentinos used a railcar (that had been previously refurbished) to run the Gran Capitán service between F. Lacroze to Posadas, Misiones.

After the discontinuation of freight on 14 September 1985, the WEG dismantled much of the line. The last section between Amstetten and Oppingen has been preserved. On 1 March 1996, the scheduled passenger services ended on the Amstetten–Gerstetten line. The Ulm Railway Society (Ulmer Eisenbahnfreunde) bought both lines and used them for the operation of historical trains and railcars.

In addition, the line was used by international express trains such as the Ostend–Vienna Express, which took only 1:03 hours from Cologne to Aachen. In the 1960s and 1970s, several Trans Europ Express train pairs ran on the Cologne–Aachen line. Diesel railcars of class VT 11.5 (e.g. Hamburg–Paris) and trains with French TEE coaches were used.

After being built in 1925–26 at the Hutt Workshops in Petone, the railcars were sent to the Greytown Branch in the Wairarapa for trials. The Greytown Branch was a short line that provided a link between the town of Greytown and the Wairarapa Line, which bypassed the town by some four kilometres. Services ran from Greytown to connect with services on the Wairarapa Line at the junction in Woodside, but they were woefully underpatronised; often, the steam locomotive working the service would pull just a guard's van and a single passenger carriage carrying a handful of passengers. The costs to operate such a service meant that the line made a significant financial loss, but it was hoped that the small Model T Ford railcars would slash operating costs while providing a satisfactory service for the travellers who did use the line.

Vertical stanchions and horizontal overhead bars with straps have been added throughout much of the car to give standing passengers more to hold on to. New amenities include seven security cameras per car, new electronic signs making announcements visually, and "active" system maps showing the location of the train on the line. Due to the 5000-series not being in the High-Performance family of railcars (as of 2016, the only remaining series of this family of cars are the 2600 and 3200 series), and having AC propulsion, the 5000-Series are unable to MU with other series of railcars in the CTA's fleet, which are all High-Performance cars. This is not a complication for the 5000-series for the most part, since almost all of the lines they are assigned to are entirely this railcar.

Special "Train of Many Colors" excursions are organized by the New York Transit Museum On the platform (lower) level, two fully powered and operational subway tracks contain many historic examples of New York City subway and elevated railway equipment on permanent display. Preserved railcars, most of which can still be operated, date as far back as the predecessor companies that came before the New York City Transit Authority, such as the BMT and IRT private companies, and the city owned and operated IND. The platform bordering one of the two tracks is equipped with hinged bright yellow gap filler boards, to allow the narrower IRT railcars to be safely boarded from a platform which was built for the wider cars running on newer lines. A few specialized railwork vehicles formerly used for maintenance are also usually on view.

The railways were placed under Government control two days before war was declared on 3 September 1939. After the war, the railways were in a poor financial state, with a maintenance backlog. Government control was relinquished when the Transport Act 1947 nationalised most of the railways in the United Kingdom and control passed to the Railway Executive of the British Transport Commission, who inherited 37 diesel railcars. A 1952 report recommended lightweight diesel multiple unit trials, and a memo to the Board suggested diesel railcars could replace push- pull steam trains on 168 routes. After fuel rationing ended, the first order was placed in November 1952 for 21 x 2-car sets built at Derby Works, which became known as Derby lightweights. More were to follow until this class numbered 66 motor cars and 55 trailers.

In April 1861, Virginia troops under Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson occupied Harpers Ferry and part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad leading into western Virginia. They seized many B&O; locomotives and railcars on May 23. In May and June 1861, Confederate forces advanced into western Virginia to impose control by the Richmond government and the Confederacy. They got no further than Philippi, due to bad roads.

Everyday activities were associated with railroad, which seemed to be a part of life. This may lead to an interest in railcars, how they move, numbering, and other rail systems in the world and how they compare with their native ones. If these people move to another locale, their interest in railroads might be nostalgic. Another appeal of the railroads is the business side of railroading.

Services are normally provided by electric railcars of class Be 4/4, hauling either voiture pilote (driving trailers), delivered in 1982 and built by ACMV/SAAS, or coaches, or both. The two modern Ge 4/4 locomotives deal with freight traffic, the most obvious difference to the MOB and RhB locomotives is the addition of standard gauge buffers for use with standard gauge wagons.

In the case of Chaco, the government of the province created a state- owned company, named "Servicios Ferroviarios del Chaco (SEFECHA)" to operate regional services on the Ferrocarril Belgrano tracks, using small railcars. The national government took over the services in May 2010,"SEFECHA pasó a la Nación", Diaro Norte, 5 May 2010 and has been operating them since then, through state-owned company Trenes Argentinos.

Jones also founded the Atkinson Republican Club, which had a membership of over 100 African-American voters. He used his political influence to advocate for equal rights for African Americans, and fought for equal public accommodations for African Americans, to include railcars. While Jones was a supporter of the state's Republican Party, he did not run for elected public office, nor did he accept any appointments.

After the air raid on October 10, 1944 which destroyed Naha Station as well as two locomotives, four railcars and six coaches, the operation was not resumed until early November.Kada, supra, p. 36 On December 11, 1944, a train on the Itoman Line carrying weapons, ammunition and fuel exploded for unknown reason in Haebaru. About 210 soldiers, eight students and three railway employees on board were killed.

The mainline railway is behind the hedge to the right. Diesel railcars at the summit prior to electrification: Bhm1/2 (left), Bhm2/4 (right). The Monte Generoso railway or Ferrovia Monte Generoso (MG) is a mountain railway line in the Italian speaking canton of Ticino, in south-east Switzerland. The line runs from Capolago, on Lake Lugano, to a terminus near the summit of Monte Generoso.

Hornby Railways manufacture a model of the 1940-style railcar in OO gauge, using tooling acquired in their takeover of Lima. In late 2017, Dapol released an OO model of the streamlined 1936 Gloucester RCW railcars in a variety of liveries and numbers. Graham Farish has produced an N-gauge model (with various numbers, e.g. 19, 22, and 20), both before and after their takeover by Bachman.

Militia and federal troops were called to the city to suppress the strike. Forty men died, most of them workers, and more than 40 buildings were burned down, including the Union Depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Strikers also burned and destroyed rolling stock: more than 100 train engines and 1000 railcars were destroyed. It was the city with the most violence of any affected by the strikes.

They have been building rail transportation products since 1912. National Steel Car won a contract in January 2007 for 1,200 custom-made railcars for TransLoad America, a New Jersey-based waste transport firm. Columbian Chemicals Ltd. on 755 Parkdale Avenue North, are manufacturers of carbon black - an agent used to reinforce and extend the life of products made with rubber, giving it durability and strength.

Two named passenger services operated on the line. The Rotorua Express was initiated in 1894 and in 1930 became the Rotorua Limited - the most prestigious train in New Zealand at that time. The service later reverted to the Rotorua Express with more stops; and in 1959 was replaced by 88-seater Fiat railcars, the NZR RM class. The Fiat railcar service ceased in 1968.

In 1991 a new twice daily tourist-oriented service called the Geyserland Express was initiated, using Silver Fern railcars. This service lasted a decade and ceased in 2001. Freight on the line previously comprised forestry and livestock products railed north from Rotorua. Train loads north were limited by the Tarukenga Bank west of Rotorua between Ngongotahā and Mamaku, with a steep ruling gradient of 1 in 35.

The operating location of the STB is the railway depot Meiningen (Bahnbetriebswerk Meiningen) located directly at Meiningen station. In addition to the maintenance and repairs of the railcars, it also serves as a parking location for the shuttles. The management shares an office building at the company headquarters in Erfurt with the management of the partner Erfurter Bahn. The two transport companies work closely together.

The electric railcars, on the other hand, proved insufficient for hauling passenger trains and, subsequently de-motored, they were transformed into passenger coaches of Class RBz. From 1928 the locomotives were removed from the Valtellina line and transferred to the stations at Bolzano and Fortezza where, from 1929, they were used as shunting locomotives to assemble trains of wagons in transit towards the Brenner Pass.

In the 1930s the service between Newcastle Central and North Wylam was operated by Sentinel steam railcars; these were replaced by LNER Class G5 0-4-4T locomotives with a push-pull unit. Britain's railways were nationalised on 1 January 1948 and the line was placed under the control of British Railways. Diesel Multiple Units began to replace trains propelled by steam locomotives from 1955.

Although double- ended, the railcars are unusual in that they have doors only on one side, as all platforms are on the same side of the track. They can operate either singly or in pairs. From March to October, trains operate every 30 minutes, with additional trains if the traffic requires it. In November, January and February trains are less frequent, whilst no trains operate in December.

There is a regular (at least daily) goods traffic between the port city of Toamasina and the capital city of Antananarivo. There are daily passenger trains on the Madarail system. Very occasionally there are special chartered trips on restored Micheline railcars for tourists. The southern line has a regular daily passenger train, which provides a slow but picturesque alternative to the recently rehabilitated road in the region.

An air horn manufactured by the American Strombos Co., used on early locomotives as well as trucks Founded in 1912 as The American Strombos Co. of Philadelphia, PA, Buell sold modified marine horns for rail use. They were often installed on small locomotives, electric interurban equipment. and railcars (for example the Doodlebugs). Buell has recently made available a line of air horns specific for railroad equipment.

Model T Ford railcar in 1926. The NZR RM class Model T Ford railcar was a type of rail motor that operated on New Zealand's national rail network. Only two were built, classified as RM 4 and RM 5, and they were experimental railcars designed in an attempt to offer improved passenger services on quiet country branch lines that served regions with small populations.

Railcars of the Corporation on a CN train. Older brown and newer green paint scheme. Older rail cars were obtained from Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway when the corporation was established, these were replaced by newly built cars in 1981. Between February and October 1981 these were replaced with 1,000 newly built steel rail cars, lined with epoxy, manufactured by Hawker Siddeley Canada.

RM 1 was the solitary example of its type. The traction equipment, underframe, and bogies were provided by British Westinghouse and were fitted to a wooden body that had been built by NZR at the Petone Workshops. The wooden body largely resembled a railway passenger carriage, though the driving compartments fitted at each end had an appearance similar to contemporary trams.Jones, Where Railcars Roamed, 8.

Its yearly deficit was . A pool of 86 Budd Rail Diesel Cars provided the service. B&M; filed for bankruptcy protection in 1970. All remaining B&M; commuter assets, with the exception of yard tracks and freight-only branches, were sold to the Commonwealth on December 14, 1976, though B&M; was contracted to operate the service using its existing fleet of diesel railcars.

At one time, the line had several intermediate stops in Evanston and Skokie, but these stations have long been out of use and dismantled. In June 2010, however, construction began on a new station at Oakton, which opened on April 30, 2012. Trains operate using the Bombardier-built 5000-series railcars; each train consists of two cars. Average weekday boardings of 7,063 were reported in September 2012.

The Express's final run was on 6 February 1959 when a Friday service operated to Auckland. Three days later, a replacement railcar service began, utilising 88 seater railcars.Burton, "History of the Rotorua Rail Line". The railcars ran every day except Sunday and completed the journey in 5 hours 10 minutes, but the 88 seaters were plagued by mechanical problems and last ran on 11 November 1968.

In addition, there were four open pile trestle bridges between Cane Junction and Bay City, all built between 1912 and 1922. By 1998, the only part of the old Cane Belt system that still served rail shippers was south of Bay City. In that year, the Celanese Chemical and Lyondell Petrochemical companies shipped approximately 10,000 railcars through Bay City from their facilities.Osborn (1998), pp.

The Brilon Stadt station 2012 Museum tram 431 near Ringelstein in August 2000 The Büren- Weiberg–Thülen section was used in the summer months from 1981 for the operations of museum trains. This was operated by Dortmund railway enthusiasts as the Westfälische Almetalbahn e. V. (WAB), using an old Dortmund GT4 431 tram together with a generator wagon. In 2001, the tram set was replaced by railcars.

Canadian Pacific Railway (through its Soo Line Railroad subsidiary) acquired the trackage within the train shed when it bought what remained of the Milwaukee Road in 1986. The CP Rail C&M; Subdivision runs on two mains through the station. There are 4 depot spurs used to store private railcars and Amtrak Hiawatha trains overnight. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation owns the station and platforms.

Founded in 1970, Tivoli Gardens Football Club was previously headed by former Prime Minister the late Rt Hon Edward Seaga, who served as Member of Parliament for forty years. Five-times national champions, they won their first Premier League title in 1983. The club operates on lands previously home to the Jamaica Railway Corporation. The grounds are laid and the sight of old railcars.

Although Kimball Station was rebuilt in 1974 it was still upgraded as part of the Brown Line Capacity Expansion Project. The station closed from September 15, 20062 Brown Line stations to close. Chicago Tribune, September 2, 2006 to January 12, 2007. During this closure, the two platforms were extended to support eight railcars, and the station entrance was reconfigured to better meet ADA requirements.

The El Camino was a set of lightweight streamlined railcars owned by Los Angeles County in the 1970s and 1980s. The county acquired the cars to bootstrap a proposed commuter rail service between Los Angeles and Orange County. This effort, spearheaded by County Supervisor Baxter Ward, was unsuccessful. The equipment saw limited use on Amtrak's San Diegan in 1978 and was sold in 1985.

To the end in 1978, the TGR still used AAL class first class saloons with leather seats and maple panelling, as well as SP class brake and 2nd class passenger carriages, converted from Sentinel steam railcars. When TGR was abolished in 1978, most rollingstock was transferred onto the register of Australian National Railways (with the exception of all passenger stock other than that kept for departmental use).

About Schömberg and Balingen the station Rotenzimmern can be reached over a wheel hiking shuttle from Tübingen. (free bicycle transport on weekends and holidays in the summer). The Hohenzollerische Landesbahn reaches with coupled railcars from Tübingen to Kleinengstingen the Upper Danube Nature Park and continues by bus till the starting point of the Schlichem hiking trail in Tieringen. Since 2015 an early train allows full-day excursions.

There were hot sulfur springs, clear springs and a small resort. In 1902, Mr. Lasell built a 2-inch galvanized pipe from the spring to a bottling plant in downtown Martinez across from the train station, approximately 6 miles (10 km). The Alhambra Water Company was born. As the business grew, glass-lined railcars were used to carry water to bottling plants in Oakland and San Francisco.

The Centro Cultural Estación Indianilla is located on Claudio Bernard Street in the colonia. This cultural center was opened in 2006 in what was an old workshop for the reparation of tram cars. The building had been in disrepair for a number of decades. It now houses exhibition space for modern and "alternative" art, taking advantage of the buildings tall ceilings and rooms built to accommodate railcars.

The dumper clamps an individual car against a platform that swivels the car upside down to dump the coal. Swiveling couplers enable the entire operation to occur while the cars are still coupled together. Unloading a unit train takes about three hours. Shorter trains may use railcars with an "air-dump", which relies on air pressure from the engine plus a "hot shoe" on each car.

The carriages built by the Bristol Wagon & Carriage Co. were similar to the prototype except the open end was enclosed. In 1906 five engines were built by Manning Wardle & Co.; these were larger with entrances front and rear. Only three longer carriages were purchased that year, allowing two spare engines for maintenance. The railcars worked over most of the Taff Vale system, normally without a trailer.

The first of these vehicles were delivered in 2005 and was first tested on the Blue Line before becoming exclusive to the Gold Line. Delivery of the P2550 series was delayed, and the LACMTA claimed that the vehicles were overweight. They opted not to order any more railcars from AnsaldoBreda. They would later order the P3010 series from Kinki Sharyo, which first entered service in 2016.

The TVS2000s proved to be successful very quickly. TCDD's bad image started to improve almost instantly and the İstanbul-Ankara main line was getting increased travel. Because of the success of the railcars, TCDD ordered even more of them and soon started to replace their entire fleet with them. TÜVASAŞ has modernized intercity and regional cars to meet TVS2000 standards between 2002 and 2006.

1903 Petrol Electric Autocar. In 1903 the North Eastern Railway built two experimental railcars at their carriage works in York. These were powered by petrol engines which generated electricity for two traction motors which were mounted on the bogie underneath. This means of powering a railway vehicle was pioneering and would eventually be developed into the diesel-electric technology that powered and powers many locomotives worldwide.

The AEZ railcar is a self-propelled, electric, multiple-unit train used by the state railway of Chile, Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado (EFE). The railcars were used to service the electrified sections of line between Santiago, Valparaiso, Chillán, and Concepción, as well as used occasionally to service Temuco and Osorno. Six units were built and were numbered AEZ-41 to AEZ-46.

According to published figures, the line had been losing £14,000 per annum before the experiment with receipts of around £50 per month; the railcars resulted in an increase in the income of around £250 - £300 per month, but still ran at a loss of £400 per month and the annual loss on the line could not be reduced beyond £4,700.Simpson, B., op. cit. p. 159.

Donegal Railway Heritage Centre The Glenties branch closed in 1947, the Strabane-Derry line closed in 1954 and the rest of the passenger services ended on 31 December 1959. Much of the railway was closed on that date. Goods trains ran between Strabane and Stranorlar until 6 February 1960 In 1961, the two most modern diesel railcars were sold to the Isle of Man Railway.

The last goods train left Parkend on 26 March 1976 and much of the track was dismantled. The line was bought by the Dean Forest Railway Preservation Society, now based at Norchard. In 2004-2005 Parkend station was extensively reconstructed, and it reopened 26 December 2005. Diesel Railcars ran the service in December 2005 and then Steam services have run into Parkend since 25 March 2006.

The newly formed State Railways (TCDD) continued the commuter service formerly provided by the CFOA. After World War II, new locomotives and railcars were delivered to Turkey and used on the line. In 1962, new E8000 EMUs were ordered as part of TCDD's plans to upgrade the line. In the following years, the tracks were doubled and electrified, and the stations were all renovated.

H. L. Lawson & Son Warehouse is a historic warehouse building located at Roanoke, Virginia. It was built in 1925, and is a four-story, utilitarian brick building. The banked site allowed for the unloading of freight from railcars directly into the third story of the warehouse. It was built by Harry Leland Lawson, a key figure in Roanoke's business community from the late 1910s to the 1940s.

It was necessary to increase the line speed between Warendorf and Beelen from 60 km/h to 100 km/h to make the increased frequency possible. Services are operated by eurobahn on behalf of the Verkehrsverbundes OstWestfalenLippe (East Westphalia-Lippe Transport Association) and the Zweckverbandes SPNV Münsterland (Münsterland Public Transport Association), using Bombardier Talent railcars of DB class 643. The average speed is 50 km/h.

Between September 1918 and May 1919 Ice King made four more round trip voyages between the United States and France, loading up to 3,000 tons frozen beef at Hoboken, New Jersey, for the eastbound voyage and returning with smaller U.S. Army return cargoes, including ammunition. Ice King was twice delayed in French ports, once by a shortage of refrigerated railcars and once by port congestion.

It remains the worst rail disaster in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany and the worst high speed rail disaster worldwide. Railcar 151 was almost completely destroyed, only the almost undamaged power car 410 051 as well as a few other intermediate cars have been reused in other railcars. The trailing power car was used for the reconstruction of power car 401 573.

The Xplorer is a diesel multiple unit train operated by NSW TrainLink on regional rail services in New South Wales from Sydney to Armidale, Moree, Broken Hill, Griffith and Canberra. The first Xplorers entered service in October 1993, and are mechanically identical to but feature a higher level of passenger amenity than the Endeavour railcars. All 23 carriages were built by ABB Transportation in Dandenong, Victoria.

Two units were manufactured for the Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL). The last usage of these railcars was in May, 1971. Unit 2027 was destroyed in a collision with a gas tanker truck at Arcadia, Florida in 1956. Unit 2028 was renumbered 4900 after the Seaboard- Atlantic Coast Line merger in 1967 and was scrapped after Amtrak took over national passenger service in 1971.

The motor cars each have four traction motors, making them perhaps the most powerful rack railcars in the world. The braking system is mixed regenerative and rheostatic. The train is capable of , however this is limited during the downhill journey to . Two four-wheel 'S' open wagons were acquired from the State Rail Authority for freight traffic, and have been cut down to flat wagons.

González Bastias station González Bastías is a small town which, at 44 km, is the line's halfway point. It is an obligatory stop for trains in both directions, since there is only one track and they must pass each other. During the stop-over, people often buy rescoldo: a hearty bread with pork sausage and hard-boiled eggs. The station is also a storehouse for abandoned railcars.

Between 1864 and 1867, under the leadership of Ellis S. Chesbrough, the city built the two-mile Chicago lake tunnel to a new water intake location further from the shore. Crews began from the intake location and the shore, tunneling in two shifts a day. Clay and earth were drawn away by mule-drawn railcars. Masons lined the five-foot-diameter tunnel with two layers of brick.

Most Siemens Venture railcars are configured into semi-permanently coupled trainsets with open gangway-style connections between cars but with standard couplers on the outer ends of the trainset for connecting the trainset to locomotives or other railway equipment. The Amtrak Midwest equipment is an exception, and is divided into smaller semi- permanently coupled married pairs that can be assembled into a trainset using conventional AAR couplers.

Since the end of 2012, two different types of vehicles have been used on the A line, the U4 and U5 railcars. The vehicles are each 2.65 meters wide. The Frankfurt underground is normal gauge (1435 mm gauge) and runs with 600 V DC, which is supplied via a catenary. The U4 series was built by DUEWAG and Siemens, the U5 series by Bombardier Transportation.

Tram in 1995 Until 1900 54 railcars were ordered at Van Zypen & Charlier and Crede. From 1955 to 1958 the railcar types "260", "261-288 (2 +2 Tw)" designed by Duewag and built in Kassel were put in service. They were in regular service until 1991. Ten vehicles were given to Gorzow in Poland and later scrapped, one of them went to the Warsaw tram friends.

The western part of the Flekkefjord Line was integrated into it, while the remaining section became the branch line that kept the name Flekkefjord Line. During the 1940s, steam locomotive-hauled trains were replaced by railcars. Following the declining traffic, in part due to the slow speeds caused by the line's narrow profile, the line was closed, with the last trains running in 1990.

The rail network is in the process of being electrified from the previous diesel railcars, with the Seaford line being the first electrified line to open in February 2014. Adelaide also has a single tram line to Glenelg from the city centre. The tram line also extends to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on the North Western fringes of Adelaide's Parklands. The state has two historical tourist railways.

The hull, engine and boiler were fabricated beforehand in Port Arthur, Ontario (Thunder Bay) and shipped to the construction site at Okanagan Landing. It took seventeen railcars to ship the prefabricated materials out West. Up to 150 men were hired to build both Sicamous and Naramata. The cost to build Sicamous alone was estimated to be $180,000 not including the additional $14,000 spent on fine furnishings.
