The railcar LAG No. 875 was a two-axle electric railcar of the Lokalbahn Aktien-Gesellschaft (LAG) for operation on the meter-gauge local railway Ravensburg-Weingarten-Baienfurt .
With the nationalization of the LAG , the railcar was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and designated as ET 197 01 . After the Second World War it was still part of the Deutsche Bundesbahn and was in use until 1959. The vehicle is no longer available today.
history
The LAG operated several branch lines in southern Germany, which were electrified early on and operated with multiple units. The railcar 875 was built in 1914 and, as a two-axle vehicle, differed from the four-axle vehicles previously procured for this route with the numbers 800-804 . The vehicles were housed in the Weingarten railcar shed . When the LAG was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1938, the railcar was given the designation ET 197 01 .
After the acquisition of the new ET 1954 series, the ET 197 01 was only used as a company car . When the Baienfurt line ceased operations in 1959, it was shut down, retired in 1961 and scrapped in 1963.
construction
The underframe was made of riveted rolled profiles, the frame of the car body was a wooden structure clad with sheet metal. Like the other five vehicles from the early days, the car had a central buffer coupling in the style of trams. The railcar was almost four meters shorter than the railcars 800-804. The interior consisted of three third-class compartments with 16, eight and six seats. The driver's cabs were separated from the passenger compartments with partitions and doors; these were also the entry areas. Since the platforms on the Ravensburg – Weingarten – Baienfurt tram were all on one side, only the doors on the side of the stop were kept open, the others were locked. The entry rooms were drawn in.
When it was delivered, two Lyra pantographs were placed on the roof of the railcar ; during a renovation in 1938, these were replaced by a pantograph . The drive of the vehicle consisted of two four-pole direct current motors in series , which were suspended in the frame in a pawl bearing design . The railcar had three different liveries over the years. When it was delivered it had a dark green car body with a gray frame. In the 1930s, the car body was given a two-tone paint job, whereby it was green below the lower edge of the window and beige above the lower edge of the window. At the Deutsche Bundesbahn it was finally red with beige stripes.
