But train companies have done away with it in order to cut costs. In West Germany this happened 1991 with the putting into service of the first ICE trains. They no longer had a luggage car in the train, different to loco hauled trains used before. It would, of course, also cost dwelling time at the station if the individual pieces of luggage would have to be lifted into and out of the luggage car; a system of containers would be needed by which one could move everything for and from a station in just one swoop.
