Windhoff Cargosprinters (container DMUs) class 690 in Knittelfeld, Austria.
These prototype units, built 1997, were designed to be a modern, economic
alternative for rail container transport without shunting delays, but all
attempts to establish regular services were unsuccessful. Each unit consists
of two 4-axle end power cars and three 2-axle middle cars. Between units,
the Z-AK coupler allows both automatic coupling and combination with regular
wagons.
