The VT 18.16 â a train for Central GermanyElegant, fast and luxurious: The Goerlitz type express rail car once stood for a new rail travel experience. He was the showpiece of the German State Railways of the GDR, spraying international flair and he not only filled the railway workers with great pride. Three of these ivory-red track stars have been preserved. Since 2003, however, there has been no operational copy, the elegant trains were unprotected outdoors and there was a risk of slow decay. Then former Reichbahn workers and SVT fans came on the plan and founded a non-profit gGmbH in 2019. Since then, we have worked with a lot of heart blood and great expertise to make a complete train shine in old splendor and to make it possible to experience it as a traveling legend. The project is under the motto A train for Central Germany and is intended to express its commitment to the Central German region. And as an Ambassador to Europe, this race will recall the great time of luxurious international trains.
