SKTRAINS AM/MS 86

The 900 series is a series of EMU (two coaches) of the SNCB; they are more commonly called Sprinter (pronounced sprintèrre) or AM 86 after the year of the beginning of construction: from 1986 to 1991. It is characterized by its typical front wall which has the shape of a diving mask (which led to the nickname AM Cousteau). These railcars have a low mass; thus, in conditions of reduced adhesion, the braking and traction performances are strongly degraded.
