Model Information: New shape. In 1971/1972, the Deutsche Reichsbahn put 37 car transport wagons for DDm passenger trains from the French company ANF into operation. After reunification, the cars were transferred to the Deutsche Bahn AG fleet, where they were listed as DDm 916. They were used in the motorail trains together with the DDm 915. Many cars were later sold abroad or to private companies. In addition to the German vehicles, there are also French, Spanish, Dutch and Czech variants.

Road Name History: Renfe Operadora (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈreɱfe opeɾaˈðoɾa]) is the state-owned company which operates freight and passenger trains on the 1,668 mm (5 ft 5 21⁄32 in) Iberian gauge, the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) standard gauge and the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge networks of the Spanish national railway infrastructure company ADIF (Administrador de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias—Railway Infrastructure Administration).

The name "Renfe" is derived from that of the former Spanish National Railway Network, RENFE (acronym of Red Nacional de los Ferrocarriles Españoles—National Network of Spanish Railways) created on 24 January 1941 with the nationalisation of Spain's railways. As per EU Directive 91/440, RENFE was divided into Renfe-Operadora (operations) and ADIF (infrastructure) on 1 January 2005.
