| Remarks & Notes |
| Brand new "Capricorn" train ABe 4/16 # 3113 from StadlerRail for the Rhaetian Railway. The RhB ordered 36 of this four-car train (including a railcar and a cab car) for service mainly between Disentis-Chur-landquart-Klosters-Davos-Filisur and Klosters-Vereina-St.Moritz and Klosters-Scuol-Tarasp. About portion working (‘Flügelzugbetrieb’):The possibility to introduce portion working with the new EMUs is what makes them unique. Two trainsets can be automatically (de)coupled along the route. Each trainset then can continue to a different destination. When travelling back in the opposite direction, the two parts are coupled together again to continue their journey. Portion working will make it possible to introduce a half-hourly cycle on the single-track line between Landquart and Klosters without costly line extensions. The «Capricorns» are equipped with automatic coupling to ensure smooth operation. |
