The 1941 Class ET 125, later adjusted series 276.0 (DR) or 477 (DBAG), is an electric railcar which traversed the S-Bahn-connection in the DC power from Berlin 1934/35 and was built in 1936 and 1938. The cars were popularly known as banker trains. They were rebuilt after World War II and the series ET / EB 166 adapted. Among other things, they lost the more powerful 1949/50 traction motors. From the 1970s, they were included in the program of modernization and in series 277 rebuilt (after 1991 477/877), they were used on Berlin's S-Bahn network until 2003.
These trains were deployed when the section between Potsdamer Ringbahnhof and Wannsee were electrified including the part of Zehlendorf stretch.
