General

The Class 628 is a (semi) diesel multiple unit consisted of two carriages, one motorcar (BR 628) and one control car without powersupply (BR 928), developed in the early 1970s. Originally, the BR 628 were ordered to replace the older Railbuses Class 795, 798 and 515.

The development of the BR 628 can be divided in several stages. The second version of this class, the BR628-2, was an extended version of the previous two versions.
Before the diesel multiple units became widespread, a number of short-term requirements from the future production Class 628-2 units were integrated, including a 1st class open compartment, better ventilation and a dividing wall between the drivers cab and the passenger compartment. Externally the front and back were more angled, the triple headlamp was moved down and a train destination display added in order to improve the vehicles appearance and to keep passengers better informed. In all, 150 of these units were procured between 1986 and 1989. At the Kiel locomotive depot several of these railcars were driver for a while at up to 140 km/h, but because this seriously increased wear and tear, these express duties were soon terminated again. The Class 628-2 with the DBs Regionalbahn in Schleswig-Holstein was given a redesign with new seats, new interior decor, wheelchair ramps etc. Several years before, a Karlsruhe 628-2 had also been given a fundamental modernisation of its interior.

The experience with the BR 628-2 lead to an extended version, the BR 628-4 which were more powerfull and longer.

The Class 628-2 can be operated in a maximum of four pairs and has a maximum speed of 120 kilometre per hour. The weight of a carriage is around 42 tons.
