Express Train Coach AB4ü Pr 15 DRG

Prussian-type express train coaches represented the majority of the Deutsche Reichsbahn car fleet, solely because of the number of cars used. Even though the DRG had more unit cars than Prussian express train coaches because of its car construction programmes in the early thirties, there still wasn’t a single express train which was not accompanied by a former Prussian car. More than half of the 2nd class express train coaches which were acquired by the K.P.E.V. had an iron type construction. The coaches, in accordance with the Be 462 designation, provided extremely comfortable and luxurious seating for a total of 42 passengers in their seven compartments. One of the first express train coaches to be mass-produced by the K.P.E.V. was the future AB 4ü Pr 15. The roof ends of these coaches were clearly different to those which were delivered later on.
