The Class 218 - City Bahn. In Eighties, the German Federal Railroad bet on the concept "City Bahn": Regularly scheduled service, cars with modern equipment, and service on board on routes with little traffic. The powerful and proven class 218 locomotives were used on the route Cologne – Gummersbach, where they easily mastered the hard, everyday work of commuter service. These locomotives were painted to fit in with the cars, a striking scheme of orange / light gray – similar to the color scheme for the Rhine/Ruhr S-Bahn. The concept "City Bahn" was a total success. It saved routes threatened with abandonment and found its successor in the "Stadt-Express" / "City Express".
