The legendary Rheingold (Rhinegold) was a famous train riding between Hoek van Holland near Rotterdam and Basel, Switzerland, a distance of 662 kilometres (411 mi). It ran along the Rhine River via Arnhem, Netherlands and Cologne, Germany using special luxury coaches. It was named after Richard Wagner's Das Rheingold opera, which romanticized the Rhine. The first Rheingold (trains FFD 101 and FFD 102) started service on May 15, 1928. In the Netherlands it was pulled by the 3700-3800-3900 steam locomotive series, in Germany by the Baureihen 183 (Badic IV h, between Mannheim and Basel) and BR 184-5 (Bavarian S 3/6, between Emmerich and Mannheim) and in Switzerland by Ae 4/7 electric locomotives. In 1930, the BR 01 (01 077-181) was used between Mannheim and Basel and permanently from 1935 on, and the NS 3900 in the Netherlands.
