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.[1]
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.
- 2001: Mersch
- 2003: Betzdorf
- 2004: Pétange
- 2018: Troisvierges
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.
