After problems with the electrics and braking system last year, a restored GDR high-speed railcar of the type SVT Görlitz has been on a test run again for the first time. "This was the first factory test run," said Gunnar Kloß from SVT Görlitz gGmbH about the test run of the historic train on the railroad line between Halberstadt and Blankenburg.
The non-profit company is organizing the project around the express train and has rented it from the German Railway Museum in Nuremberg. The technical refurbishment is currently being carried out at the VIS Verkehrs Industrie Systeme GmbH plant in Halberstadt.
