District Railway electric multiple units
text:
District Railway electric multiple units were used on London's Metropolitan District Railway after the lines were electrified in the early 20th century. After a joint experiment with the Metropolitan Railway with which they operated the inner circle in London, a four rail DC system was chosen. Following the testing of two prototype trains in 1903, electric multiple units were ordered to replace the steam locomotives and carriages. By the end of 1905 all passenger services used electric traction.
