Museum train of four 4ymg cars of the DB in Dresden Hbf. These cars were introduced in the 1950s and pioneered the new length of 26.4 m which later became standard for most European passenger rolling stock (UIC-X and UIC-Z cars). They were originally intended for fast medium distance trains ("Leichtschnellzüge"), but were suitable for local trains as well thanks to their central entrances, so they were used in regional services until they were replaced by the "Silberling" cars with their automatic doors. 2001-05-02.
