Image 517 008.jpg thumb Railcar no. 517 008 of the German national railway, DB An accumulator railcar also accumulator car or accumulator railbus is an electrically driven railcar whose energy is derived from rechargeable batteries that drive its traction motor s. The main advantage of these vehicles is their clean, quiet operation. They do not use fossil fuels like coal or diesel fuel , emit no exhaust gas es and do not require the railway to have expensive infrastructure like electric Third rail ground rails or Overhead lines overhead catenary . On the down side is the weight of the batteries, which raises the vehicle weight, and their range before recharging of between 300 and 600 kilometres. Accumulator cars have a higher purchase price and running cost than petrol or diesel railcars and need a network of charging stations along the routes they work. History Experiments with battery electric railcars were conducted from around 1890 in Belgium, France, Germany and Italy. In the USA, railcars of the Edison Beach type, with nickel iron battery nickel iron batteries were used from 1911. In New Zealand, a NZR RM class Edison battery electric battery electric Edison railcar operated from 1926 to 1934. The Drumm nickel zinc battery was used on four 2 car sets between 1932 and 1946 on Harcourt Street railway line the Harcourt Street Line in Ireland and British Railways used lead acid batteries in a British Rail BEMU railcar in 1958 . Between 1955 and 1995 DB railways successfully operated 232 DB Class ETA 150 railcars utilising lead acid batteries . Germany In 1887 the first German accumulator cars were placed in service by the Royal Bavarian State Railways . Their development continued with the pre Second World War classes ETA 177 to 180, the post war DB Class ETA 176 and finally ended with DB Class ETA 150 DB Classes 150, 515 and 517 .
