When the DB introduced a new color scheme for its cars in 1970 with the “pop colors”, a single new dining car, type WRümh 132, was also repainted in pebble gray/purple red. It was initially used in the blue F trains, later in various TEE and IC trains such as the TEE “Sapphire” to Brussels. However, January 10, 1974 became a fateful day for this attractively colored loner when it was irreparably damaged in a shunting accident in Brussels.
