In 1984 the German Federal Railroad undertook a new approach on lesser used routes to gain attractiveness.

A train cafe was set up in one car, and the cars were painted externally in the color scheme of the S-Bahn Rhein/Ruhr. The locomotives were adapted in their paint scheme to the cars to achieve a high level of recognition for the City Bahn. On the route Cologne – Gummersbach the motive power was class 218 diesel locomotives.

The City Bahn concept has undoubtedly spurred service on S-Bahn routes threatened with abandonment until it could be replaced by the successor, the City Express.
