The PIE TA 1 was a two-axle accumulator railcar of the Peine-Ilseder Railway . It was procured by MAN in 1901 as a one-off and was intended to partially take over passenger transport.
History and commitment
In order to rationalize passenger traffic on the Peine-Ilseder Railway (until 1900 there were only mixed trains ) and to make it more attractive, the company ordered a battery-powered tram - like multiple unit from MAN for times of low traffic .
In 1909 and 1920 two more, larger four-axle vehicles were added. Together with these vehicles and a few sidecars, all passenger traffic was handled until 1957. They were replaced in the same year by several MAN rail buses . In 1955 the railcar received another general inspection and was stored in the locomotive shed in Bülten until 1959.
Constructive features
In terms of structure, the vehicle corresponded to a tram with accumulators, as it has been in Europe several times since 1881. The two-axle vehicle with a wheel base of 2.2 m consisted of the two entry areas and the passenger compartment with a skylight in between . The railcar had 14 seats on two longitudinal benches and 10 standing places. The accumulators , which consisted of a total of 56 cells, were housed under the seats in the passenger compartment. They provided electricity for the two traction motors, which were arranged in a pawl bearing design . The technology was simple, robust and reliable.
On delivery, the car had a large window in the middle and two smaller windows on the side on each side, later the middle window was divided with two vertical bars. The access platforms initially only had half-height lattice doors, later there were closed doors.
