DB Netz (?) 60 80 99-26 250-3 Wohnwerkstattwagen. The origins of this car may be at the beginning of the 20th century when most trains were composed of two or three axle cars. A lot of those cars (including the well-known three-axle compartment cars of Prussia) survived the second world war when there was a shortage of rolling stock that could not be satisfied with new cars, so the decision was taken to produce unified three and four axle "rebuilt cars" on the underframes of the old rolling stock from 1955. Those remained in service until around 1980, but a lot found a "third life" - rebuilt again into workshop cars with sleeping compartments for trackbuilding crews. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s they could be found on the sidings of many stations, then most were scrapped. One pair still can be found in Weil am Rhein, mostly with preserved 1970s/80s inscription. 2011-09-29. |
DB Netz (?) 60 80 99-26 305-5 Wohnwerkstattwagen. It has some subtle differences to the other car; there have been countless rebuilt versions of these - semi-stationary at stations to provide temporary living space and workshops for trackbuilding crews. Weil am Rhein 2011-09-29. |

In June 1996 in Braunschweig, I found this scene: the hopper car in
back and the worker sleeping car in front (rebuilt from 3-axle passenger
car) seem to have crashed into the buffer stop at high speed. The tracks
were deformed and the wagons partly derailed.

Two 3-axle cars serving as workshop and temporary living space for
trackwork crews - obviously retired. In the 1950s the DB built these
cars for branch lines on the underframes of (mostly) ex-KPEV
compartment cars from the beginning of the 20th century. Their
passenger service ended in the 1970s due to low comfort and no
automatic doors, but a lot of them had a second life as work car.
