M-Bahn
Encyclopedia : M : MB : MBA : M-Bahn
The M-Bahn or Magnetbahn was a local transport train built in the 1980s in Berlin. Like the Transrapid and other magnetic levitation trains, it used a long stator linear motor for propulsion; it did not, however, use magnetic levitation, but ran on wheels instead. The driverless system featured a 1.6 km track connecting 3 metro stations. Testing with passenger traffic started in August 1989, and regular operation started in July 1991. Because of traffic changes after the fall of the Berlin Wall, deconstruction of the line began only 2 months later and was completed in February 1992, in order to make room and allow the reestablishment of the line U2.
