Comment: Express Train Travel during the Economic Miracle - After the 1950s gave the German Federal Republic (West Germany) an economic upswing and the most important, private basic needs had been covered, many West Germans had a desire to travel. Yet, before the great growth in automobile ownership, the demand was growing for another series of modern passenger cars for long distance express service. The number of new design express train passenger cars placed into service since 1954 was no longer sufficient for this purpose. The DB therefore placed additional modern express train passenger cars into service from 1963 on. The following express train passenger car types belonged to this family of new cars: A4üm-61, 1st class (later the type Am 203), B4üm-63, 2nd class (later the type Bm 234), AB4üm-63, 1st/2nd class (later the type ABm 225), BRbu4üm-61, half dining car, 2nd class (later the type RBbumh 282), and BD4üm-61, half baggage car, 2nd class (later the type BDms 273). The designs for these cars followed for the most part the concept for the first postwar car types of 1953/54, but folding doors were used for the entry doors on the sides of the cars. Externally, the sliding windows with bright gold oxidized lightweight metal frames attracted attention also. The interiors experienced a series of changes in details. In addition, sliding doors were built into the ends of the cars. The 1st class cars with a cobalt blue paint scheme clearly stood out from the 2nd class cars and baggage cars in their chrome oxide green schemes. These consists were among the typical Era III trains used by the ”Economic Miracle children”, who had just arrived into a modest prosperity, to travel during their vacations.

Comment: Faster Passenger Flow – The German State Railroad Company (DRG) required fast, efficient cars for use in the Ruhr express service, cars that would allow it to master the expected passenger volumes. In addition, these cars had to fulfill the technical conceptions at the start of the 1930s. As far back as then the question was intensively debated whether locomotive hauled trains or powered rail cars would be preferable. The German State Railroad had special passenger cars developed in 1933 in order to clarify this question. These cars differed markedly from previous designs. Like the passengers ordered since 1930 for main lines, they were equipped with trucks and open vestibules with crossover plates, but they were equipped with a large number of side doors instead of large end entries to speed up the flow of passengers. This had already been done before with the earlier compartment cars. These cars were still in use on both state railroads in divided postwar Germany, i.e. also on the German State Railroad (DR) in former East Germany.
