what is it?

The HŽ series 6111 is an electric multiple unit used by Croatian Railways (Croatian: hrvatske željeznice, HŽ), formerly the class JŽ 411 of ŽTP Zagreb during the period of Yugoslav Railways. The vehicles were built by Ganz Mávag, Hungary (production started in 1976). Most of the sets were later modernized by TŽV Gredelj between 2002 and 2015, including both interior and exterior modifications.
