The German Federal Railroad's Fast F Zug Express Trains - At the start of the 1950s the newly founded German Federal Railroad revived the prewar tradition of the legendary FD-Zug express trains (long distance express trains) and created a new class of trains, the F-Zug express trains (international long distance express trains and domestic long-distance express trains). These trains usually ran with special 1st class cars only for the important long distance passenger service. The blue paint scheme for these passenger trains caused the network for these trains to be called the "blue F-Zug network". The F 37 "Hans Sachs" from Munich to Hagen was among very long routes in this network. The muted red of the Mitropa dining cars used for this service contrasted effectively with the rest of the train consist and contributed to the typically solid, first class look of these F Zug / long distance trains in the 1950s and 1960s, which were highly appreciated by the passengers.
