481 Series
S-Bahn Berlin GmbH
1991-1996
After
the unification of the Berlin metro systems a major train renewal
program was launched in 1992. This program was meant to modernize
the stock on a large scale. Only after one year of development the
Deutsche Waggonbau and IFS were able to present a model of the new
train to the public. The 481 Series, here in traditional red and
beige-colouring, now numbers over 100 units and features as a prominent
part of Berlin. According to surveys it is one of the key factors
in improving passenger satisfaction. |
