Product Features and Details
The SNCF's DD DEV 66 Starting in the 1960s, rail transport services began to be used extensively throughout Europe. Night trains or daytime rapids saw the addition of platform cars to their composition for the transport of passenger vehicles. Thus, long distances could be covered by train without having to drive a long distance. Bogie and double-deck cars were built in the early 1960s for various European networks. These cars could carry 12 vehicles, six on each deck. Double-deck facilities in rail terminals were required for loading. The bogies and their braking and running systems allowed these vehicles to run coupled in fast passenger trains, without limiting their maximum speed. The advent of high speed and the abolition of night trains throughout Europe led to the decline and end of services provided with this type of vehicle.
