CFL Class 2000

CFL Class 2000 is a class of electric multiple units operated by CFL on the Luxembourg railway network. They were built in 1990-1992 by a consortium of De Dietrich, ANF and Alstom and are similar to SNCF's Z 11500 class.

History
The Z2 family of multiple units was designed by Francorail and Ateliers de construction du Nord de la France. CFL selected a variant of the Z 11500 class for their network.

Between 2024 and 2025, the 2000 series will be replaced by 34 Coradia Stream railcars from the Coradia family produced by Alstom, which is due to increase the CFL's total seat capacity by 46%.

Names
Four 2000s have been named after places in Luxembourg. They carry the appropriate crests on the side of the driving cab.

Construction
The individual cars are built with steel frames.

Technical
The multiple working system allows three units to be worked as a single train with one driver. The individual vehicles are numbered (in UIC format) as 94 82 00 20xx 1-y and 94 82 00 20xx 2-y, where 20xx is the unit number and y the check digit.
