The prototype: The class 670 double-decker rail bus

In the 1990s, Deutsche Bahn commissioned the development of an innovative double-decker rail bus to make regional transport more efficient. The result was the 670 series, a two-axle diesel railcar with a double-decker design. Manufactured by the Deutsche Waggonbau AG (DWA) plants in Dessau and Halle-Ammendorf, this vehicle was characterized by its lightweight construction and the use of components from bus construction. The first prototype, known as the "demonstrator" with the number 670 000, was presented to the public in 1994. This was followed by six series vehicles, which were used on various routes in Thuringia, Saxony-Anhalt and Rhineland-Palatinate from 1996.

The history of the 670 series

Despite the innovative design, the vehicles of the 670 series faced various challenges. Problems with the air conditioning, engine cooling and the lack of toilets meant that the vehicles were withdrawn from regular service after only a short period of use. Nevertheless, some of these railbuses found a new home with private railroad companies. For example, the railcar with the number 670 002 was acquired by Köstner Schienenbusreisen (KSR) in 2011 and has since been used for excursions in the Chemnitz area and the Ore Mountains. Affectionately nicknamed "Alma", this rail bus continues to delight rail enthusiasts and travelers alike to this day.
