    Hamburg - Frankfurt - Luxembourg. The path was set in 1952 for the European economic miracle with the Montan Union, the European Community for Coal and Steel. A demand for commercial travel between the economic centers developed out of the European integration of heavy industry and the rebuilding of the infrastructure. The DB placed the F-Zug express trains into service as "Business Class" for this network. The banking centers of Frankfurt and Luxembourg were linked with trains F231 / F232, which were given the descriptive name of "Montan Express". This train was in the schedules until 1956; the goals of European integration had spread much further by then. This route was served by the "Hamburg" design diesel powered express rail car train - in a thoroughly modernized version. The diesel electric drive in the Jacobs truck was replaced by two diesel hydraulic drives on the outer trucks. This made the train run quieter, easier and more economically. The former SVT 137 thereby became the VT 04.5 in a scarlet red paint scheme, the new look at that time for DB diesel locomotives and powered rail cars.
