German Federal Railway VT 98

VT 98 9796 (later 798 796) in June 2011 in Bochum-Dahlhausen

In addition to the VT 95, the family of Uerdingen rail buses also consisted of the VT 98. This was developed because the VT 95, with its single engine, was too weak for many routes and could not carry normal carriages...
