How a Train Trip Becomes a Luxury Experience

From a simple trip to an evocatively moving moment: there are many stories about train travel – some are entertaining, others irksome, but they seldom revolve around style and comfort. This is not the case for the cutting edge Luxon panorama rail car – and the luxury is more than skin deep. The operators accepted no compromises when selecting the technical equipment, and decided to use WAGO rail-mount terminal blocks, pluggable connectors, and interface electronics.

The Luxon panorama rail car is in a class by itself. It offers everything required for a modern event location: a classy bar, an elegant lounge, seating options that are as comfortable as they are individually variable, and fine cuisine provided by a cook with 2 Michelin stars. But what makes it special is that the Luxon does not remain in one place; instead, it carries its private or business guests along the rails through Germany and Europe. “We can basically go anywhere that the tracks accommodate our wheel gauge – from Narvik in the north of Norway to Turkey in the south,” states Jörg Schurig, technical project manager. Together with Alex Dworaczek, he conducts the business of RailAdventure GmbH, a railway company based in Munich that operates the Luxon.

Maximum High Tech in Minimal Space – And Standard Compliant

As a rolling stock vehicle, the Luxon must satisfy the particularly strict requirements for electronic equipment applicable in the railway sector, as specified by DIN EN 50155, DIN EN 50121, or DIN EN 45545. Things become even more difficult when one desires to incorporate a maximum level of high tech gear – as in the Luxon – in the very limited space. Consequently, they sought a project partner that was closely linked to the railway sector. “WAGO was quite supportive of us in a very early phase, when we were merely working on product selection. This support has not diminished over all these years, even when things got really complicated. This is exemplary, such that I have seldom experienced it in the past,” Jörg Schurig praises the close collaboration.
