A part of the cars used on the RHB-line are provided by the VBL (marked in the list above with a red asterisk). For the evening services (starting at about 8:00 PM), RHB uses regularly one car of VBL's Series 201 to 214. In times of extended vehicle need (especially at the time of the "Bad Duerkheim wurst-market "- a big wine-fest) these cars can also be seen in RHB-services. There's also the possibility to use the VBL's tramcars 148 to 151, but this has become very seldom since low-floor vehicles appeared.
 

RHB-cars' paint schemes:
The original livery of the RHB cars was to be cream white with a black border. This is not beeing used anymore, the body colour was changed into beige, the border colour is now brown. But at this time, the major part of the older vehicles is decorated with different all-over-advertisments. The livery of the newer, low-floor Gt8N-type cars is similar to the cars of the VBL: white with stripes in three different types of red. When the old diesel loco was repainted (by our club!), the same colouring was chosen.

Long vehicles:
When RHB recieved the twelve-axled cars 1019 to 1022 in 1967, they had been the longest tramway-type corridor-cars for metric gauge throughout the world. This remained until the new and even longer low-floor Gt8N-type cars arrived in 1994. They kept this record until November 1999, when the tramways of Freiburg in Germany introduced their new "Combino"-type trams, which are even 1.5 metres longer.

The bad duerkheim wurst market:
The wurst market takes place on the second and third weekend in September and claims to be the biggest wine-fest in the world. At that time, RHB increases its services to a maximum of 15-minute-intervals and with 24-hour-service. It is also the time with the best chances to find VBL Gt6N-type cars in RHB services.

Wine-street auto-free day
Anually on last sunday in august, the "Deutsche Weinstrasse" (german wine-street) will be closed for motor vehicles and given free to pedestrians and cyclists. On that day, RHB increases its sevice to 20-minute-intervals between the stations of "Ludwigshafen Oggersheim West" and "Bad Duerkheim Ost".
