In the beginning of the 1990s, a number of new 1st class compartment cars were
delivered to the DR, with improvements such as modern doors and 200 km/h speed.
They were painted in InterRegio colours. Later, some of these were converted
to 1st/2nd class, with only marginal simplifications of the 2nd class
compartments, which are still quite spacious. Here we see one of these coaches,
the ABomz 229.1 No. 51 80 30-90 002-2, at the end of the D 453 to Warszawa and
Krakow. The last two cars only go to Görlitz.
