Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A motor coach (in the European use of the word) or motorcar is a powered rail vehicle able to pull several trailers and at the same time transport passengers or luggage. With multiple unit train control, one operator can control several "motor coaches" efficiently in the same train, making longer trains possible, it can be part of a permanently or semi-permanently coupled trainset. If it is usually running as a single unit or with a matching trailer, it is called a railcar or railbus. There were also motor cars that replaced locomotives at the head of local passenger or freight trains.
