FRTC Frankfurt

It is notable for having its own standard gauge rail system and mock-Frankfurt U-Bahn underground station.

The south end is laid as a tramway in a mock-residential area,[1] with a loading dock on the opposite side for industrial training.

[6] As of 2021[update] two piece of rolling stock were permanently located on the railway system, and can be shunted around depending on the required training scenarios.

The unit had been damaged during high-water flooding at the manufacturer and was cosmetically restored and stripped of useful parts before being sold to the Frankfurt fire-brigade.

During a night-time rescue exercise the fire brigade towed train 602 along U-Bahn Line A to Eckenheim Depot [de].
