DMU Railbus VT 798 (Est.1956) at the Railwaystation - Miljoenenlijn (Simpelveld/NL)
The Uerdingen railbus (in German: Uerdinger Schienenbus), the common term for the multiple units which were developed by the German firm of Waggonfabrik Uerdingen for the Deutsche Bundesbahn and private railways after the Second World War.
These vehicles were diesel-powered, twin-axle railbuses of light construction. These vehicles were employed in passenger train duties on branch lines where steam or diesel train operations were less profitable. A total of 1,492 power cars were built from 1950 to 1971; and the total number of units, including trailer and driving cars, was 3,306. The railbus, much loved by passengers, was also nicknamed the Rote Brummer (Red Buzzer) because of the loud noise it made when driving.
