CFL's 2000 Class is a series of electric multiple units used on the Luxembourg railway network. They were built in 1990-1992 by a consortium of De Dietrich, ANF and Alsthom and are similar to SNCF's Z 11500 class.
Contents
History
The Z2 family of multiple units was designed by Francorail and Ateliers de construction du Nord de la France. CFL selected a variant of the Z 11500 class for their network.
Names
Four 2000s have been named after places in Luxembourg. They carry the appropriate crests on the side of the driving cab.
Construction
The individual cars are built with steel frames.
Technical
The multiple working system allows three units to be worked as a single train with one driver. The individual vehicles are numbered (in UIC format) as 94 82 00 20xx 1-y and 94 82 00 20xx 2-y, where 20xx is the unit number and y the check digit.
Operations
Within Luxembourg 2000s can be found on almost all lines interworking with 2200 series EMUs and push-pull services worked by 3000s & 4000s. Outside Luxembourg they are used in conjunction with SNCF Z 11500s to work the Luxemburg - Metz - Nancy services and Bettembourg - Dudelange - Volmerange-les-Mines.
