This video takes you on line M17 from Schöneweide S-Bahn station to Falkenberg and then back again. Special features at the time of recording: changed traffic routing at S Karlshorst due to construction work temporary single-track section at S Friedrichsfelde Ost due to bridge construction work temporary single-track section at S Hohenschönhausen due to bridge construction work The M17 line is the last line in Berlin on which KT4D traction is still running as scheduled. There are several reasons for this, such as the length of some platforms or their distance from the track. Individual GT6Ns cannot cope with the volume of passengers, GT6N tractions are too long for some stops at 56 meters and the Flexitys are simply too wide for some places. So 40 KT4Dmods have been extended especially for this line until 2022 in order to be able to cope with the volume of passengers. Note: the stop names can be displayed in the subtitles.
