AEG DE IC-2000N (1989) Riding a Legend... Thessaloniki - Serres 162 km [Part 1]

OSE class 520, also known as the AEG DE IC-2000N, is the oldest class of trainsets operated by TRAINOSE . They are diesel-powered, they can be EMU-5 or EMU-4 and were built in 1989 and 1995 as class 601 and 651, respectively, from the cooperation of West Germany's AEG and East Germany's LEW, and for about two decades they were the spearhead of the fast- interurban quality trains (InterCity). In 1986, OSE, in the context of upgrading the fleet, proceeded to order new high quality and specification trainsets. Under contract 5701/1986, 12 AEG / LEW trainsets were ordered. The trainsets consist of 4 coaches. Intermediate vehicles were manufactured by East German Bautzen.
The interior of the trains for their time was the most luxurious of the Greek railways while serving at the seats was done as it was on airplanes.
In July the 14th of 2017, the trainsets carried out the last high-speed route on the Athens - Thessaloniki axis and permanently abandoned their 28-year seat, the Agios Ioannis Rentis Depot, and transported to the Thessaloniki Depot where they continue to serve in Northern Greece.
