Graz-Köflacher Eisenbahn railbus VT10.02, preserved by the Steirische Eisenbahnfreunde. It was built in 1953, fifty years ago, by Waggonbau Uerdingen, derived from the DB VT95 (795), but equipped with two motors. The GKB had 13 power cars - among them the VT10.09 of 1968, the last of 1492 railbuses of type Uerdingen, and a number of ex-DB cars - and 21 trailers. Deutschlandsberg, 2003-09-07 tobias b köhler

Graz-Köflacher Eisenbahn railbus VT10.02, preserved by the Steirische Eisenbahnfreunde. In the 1960s and 1970s, most trains on the GKE were operated with railbuses; some of them with special trailers for mail (later converted to bicycle cars). When the double-deck cars were delivered in 1993, regular services ended, but some of them are still kept in working condition for additional trains and excursions.
