The VT98 rail bus, also known as the "savior of the branch lines", was a response to the increasing demand for flexible and cost-efficient transport options in rural areas.

The rail bus was light, efficient and enabled uncomplicated operation even on winding and narrow routes.
In Era V, to which the VT98 and VS98 shown here also belong, these vehicles were often still in service, often used by private companies such as Mittelbadische Baustoffe GmbH. Although the basic design dates from the 1950s, these rail buses made the leap into the modern railroad world and were regularly modernized to meet the requirements of the new age.
