Heavy Duty Freight Car Samms DB AG, with freight

In the 1990s, the heavy duty freight cars of the Deutsche Reichsbahn were still to be found in the stock of the DB AG. The six-axle cars built in Belgium and Yugoslavia had a load-bearing capacity of 89 tonnes, were equipped with a Knorr standard brake and a floor-operated handbrake. However, the originally planned task – transporting heavy track vehicles – meanwhile turned into more civilian use.
