In 1932, the Deutsche Reichsbahn introduced the so-called "Ruhr-Schnellverkehr", a forerunner of the later S-Bahn. The trains were formed due to the required rapid passenger exchange with Prussian compartment cars of the types BC4 and C4. The wine red/cream color scheme was the standard color scheme in the Ruhr Schnellverkehr in the 1930s. The second class window areas were painted light blue for better recognition. The Reichsbahn had noticed that the colors violet and cream used initially were actually reserved for upscale long-distance traffic. The series 38.10-40 (Prussian P 8) and 78 (pr. T 18) were used as the motive power. The machines specially designed for the Ruhr Schnellverkehr were given a sign above the smoke box with the inscription "Ruhr Schnellverkehr".
