VAG Class DT1

The VAG Class DT1 (colloquially called "Pegnitzpfeil"[1]) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft Nürnberg on the Nuremberg U-Bahn system since its opening in 1972.

Differences include a magnetic track brake system, that is missing from Munich's Class A trains.

[2] Besides the power supply by contact shoes, every unit is also equipped with a pantograph, as parts of the maintenance facilities are electrified with overhead lines.

[2][1] The trains were built from 1970 until 1984,[2] and entered passenger service on March 1, 1972, together with the official opening of the Nuremberg U-Bahn system.

[3] They were in service in Munich in 1972, which had a shortage of rolling stock during the 1972 Summer Olympics and in 1980, during the visit of Pope John Paul II.
