The U-7 line is a so called wide gauge line, carrying only wide gauge trains. The main difference to the narrow gauge line trains such as the U1, U2, U15, U3 and U4 line trains lies in the measurements of the carriages and the power supply. Gauge width though is the same on the narrow and wide gauge tracks (1435 millimeters).

"World of Subways Vol.2: U7 - Berlin" features the wide gauge trains F 90 and the H 01.

F 90

In 1974 the series F (F74) was being built and then further developed. The F90 was built from 1990 to 1991. The outline and constructual parts of the train are rather plain and simple compared to the modern H series. Nevertheless it shows the timeless elegance (if one can say so) of the 70´s and 80`s. These trains were built by ABB Henschel.

The trains can be used as a 2, 4 or 6 unit formation.

Technical data of the double headed railcars:

Lenght/Height/Width: 32.10m/3.42m/2.64m

Seats: 72

Max speed: 70 km/h

Power supply: lateral live rail

H 01

The H 01 is one of the most modern vehicles of the Berlin Subway System. This wide gauge train has been built between 2000 and 2002. These trains were built by ABB Henschel, Adtranz, Bombardier.

The H train is usually a set of 6 cars. This system allows a seamless transition between the cars of the trains resulting in 100 m long distance wher the passenger can walk through from end to end.

Technical data of the 6 car unit:

Lenght/Height/Width: 98.74m/3.43m/2.65m

Seats: 168 plus 40 pull out seats

Max speed: 70 km/h

Power supply: lateral live rail
