Other names
The factory designation is T59E for railcars and B59E for sidecars. Since a railcar of this type was only delivered to an enterprise in the GDR in 1960, the names ET60, T60 or T 60 E can also be found in the literature. The Erfurt variant only had one row of seats on each side and is called T2-60 or B2- 60 designated.
There is also the designation T59 for late T57 (i.e. two-way car). There is no confirmation that this designation was also used at the factory. There is probably a mix-up with the designation T F 59, which was used in Berlin for T57.
