The VT 125 is a former
driving van trailer. Three-car trains were usually made up of two motor units and one unpowered middle car. The trainsets were routinely made up from twelve driving cars, four control cars and 13 middle cars and used in city express services. The VT 125 was used in regional traffic, with first and second class saloon seating. From 1968 the VT 125 bore the EDV class number 612, the VT 126 was redesignated as the Class 613. After initially operating from Cologne and Dortmund the DMUs were based for many years at the Hamburg-Altona railway depot and, from 1982, stationed at the Brunswick depot.[1]
