Product Features and Details
In 1919, Danish privately-owned railways ordered 50 closed goods waggons (boxcars) from Christoph & Unmack in Niesky, which corresponded to the Prussian A2 master drawing to the greatest extent possible. The Danish State Railway (DSB) took over 14 of these waggons in 1939/40 and classified them as IE 18787–18800. In Denmark, the „I“ represents closed waggons for non-contaminating goods such as meat, butter, eggs, and milk – nevertheless they are not refrigerator vans. The last of these waggons were taken out of service in 1966, but still served as station waggons at various stations. One was restored to its original condition in Niesky in 2009, commemorating the 175th anniversary of the local railway carriage construction.
