Through coach
Nguồn dữ liệu từ Wikipedia, hiển thị bởi DefZone.Net
In rail terminology, a through coach is a passenger car (coach) that is re-marshalled during the course of its journey. It begins the journey attached to one train, and arrives at its destination attached to another train.[1][2]
Through coaches save their transit passengers the need to change trains themselves.[1] They also increase the number of direct links offered by the train operator(s).[2]
Most frequently in the form of sleeping or couchette cars, through coaches have commonly been used for long-distance journeys, especially in continental Europe, although they are much less common now than they were in the early 1970s.[2]

Germany
[edit]For nearly 100 years, from 1926‒2025 through carriages have connected the main cities of Berlin, Frankfurt and Cologne, via Niebüll station and the Niebüll–Dagebüll branch line, run by the Norddeutsche Eisenbahngesellschaft Niebüll, to the Dagebüll for direct transfer via ferry to the islands of Föhr and Amrum.[5]
The last through carriage from Berlin to Dagebüll Mole ran in July 2025.[5]

Seit 1926 können Urlauber ohne umzusteigen von Berlin zu den Schiffen nach Föhr und Amrum reisen. Nun stellt die Bahn die durchgehende Verbindung ein. … „Die Berliner Kurswagen waren heute zum letzten Mal unterwegs", sagte Bernd Jensen von der Norddeutschen Eisenbahn Niebüll GmbH, kurz: NEG, am Freitag der Berliner Zeitung. Auch andere Verbindungen dieser Art werden bald eingestellt.
