Article: DB Cargo can also run suburban trains.

First quarter-length train transport of an S-Bahn from Wannsee to Seddin creates benefits for all involved.

DB Cargo has successfully transported the first quarter-length train of an S-Bahn from Berlin-Wannsee to Seddin in order to relieve the burden on the S-Bahn's maintenance depot in Wannsee and improve the capacity utilisation of DB Cargo's handling and shunting service providers at the Seddin site. This relieves the burden on the Berlin S-Bahn and maximises maintenance capacities at the same time.

With a DB Cargo class 249 hybrid locomotive, all options could be optimally utilised: First with electric traction from Seddin-Süd to Berlin-Wannsee, then with a diesel engine from the platform to the factory and then radio-controlled for exact positioning of the S-Bahn between the match wagons. In the end, the quarter-length train was perfectly prepared for collection by the works locomotive in Seddin South - a successful example of well thought-out logistics and partnership-based cooperation.
