CFL Class 2200

what is it?

CFL Class 2200 is a series of electric multiple units built by Alstom for CFL. The trains are similar to the French SNCF Class Z 26500. In 2006, EMU 2207 collided head-on with a freight train in the Zoufftgen train collision, resulting in 6 deaths. Damaged parts of the train were removed and replaced by new sections.
