They were built in 1990–1992 by a consortium of [De Dietrich](/source/De_Dietrich_Ferroviaire), [ANF](/source/Bombardier_Transport_France) and [Alstom](/source/Alstom) and are similar to [SNCF](/source/SNCF)'s [Z 11500 class](/source/SNCF_Class_Z_11500).[1] ## History The Z2 family of multiple units was designed by [Francorail](/source/Francorail) and [Ateliers de construction du Nord de la France](/source/Ateliers_de_construction_du_Nord_de_la_France). CFL selected a variant of the Z 11500 class for their network. Starting in 2024, the 2000 series was progressively replaced by the Class 2400 and 2450, a series of 34 Coradia Stream railcars from the [Coradia](/source/Alstom_Coradia) family produced by [Alstom](/source/Alstom), which is due to increase the CFL's total seat capacity by 46%.[2] All units are due to be transferred to Romania's Ferotrans TFI (a new comer on the Romanian market) by the end of 2025,[3][4][5] with ten having left Luxembourg by 22 June 2025.[6] The last units, 2009 and 2022, were retired on 29 November 2025.[7] From the end of March 2026, Private Romanian operator Ferotrafic TFI will start operating the units from [Suceava](/source/Suceava) to [Bucharest](/source/Bucharest) .[8][9] ### Names Four 2000s were named after places in Luxembourg. They carried the appropriate crests on the side of the driving cab.[citation needed] - 2001: [Mersch](/source/Mersch) - 2003: [Betzdorf](/source/Betzdorf,_Luxembourg) - 2004: [Pétange](/source/P%C3%A9tange) - 2018: [Troisvierges](/source/Troisvierges) ## Construction The individual cars were built with steel frames. ## Technical The multiple working system allowed three units to be worked as a single train with one driver. The individual vehicles were numbered (in [UIC format](/source/UIC_wagon_numbers)) as 94 82 00 20xx 1-y and 94 82 00 20xx 2-y, where *20xx* is the unit number and *y* the check digit. ## Operations Within Luxembourg 2000s were used, alongside [2200](/source/CFL_Class_2200) series EMUs, for RB (Regionalbunn) services on [Line 1](/source/CFL_Line_10). They were otherwise use on secondary lines: 1b from [Kautenbach](/source/Kautenbach_railway_station) to [Wiltz](/source/Wiltz_railway_station), 6a from [Bettembourg](/source/Bettembourg_railway_station) to [Volmerange-les-Mines](/source/Volmerange-les-Mines_railway_station) via [Dudelange](/source/Dudelange), 6b from [Noertzange](/source/Noertzange_railway_station) to [Rumelange](/source/Rumelange_railway_station), and 6c from [Esch-sur-Alzette](/source/Esch-sur-Alzette_railway_station) to [Audun-le-Tiche](/source/Audun-le-Tiche). ## References 1.
