The prototype: The elT1998 glass train

The glass trains were produced in 1935 by the Fuchs wagon factory in Heidelberg (mechanical part) and AEG (electrical part). They got their nickname because of the almost completely glazed sides and roofs, which offered passengers a unique panoramic view. These railcars were used especially for excursions in southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Their elegant construction and unusual design made them a crowd-puller. Today, the remaining train is on display in the Augsburg Railway Park, while the second train was destroyed in the Second World War.
