Car shuttle train

Car shuttle trains usually operate on lines passing through a rail tunnel and connecting two places not easily accessible to each other by road.

The car shuttle train is unique in that it is fully enclosed, and allows for double decker buses to travel in the same wagons as other regular passenger vehicles.

The SyltShuttle operated by DB Fernverkehr and Autozug Sylt operated by Railroad Development Corporation transports road vehicles on railway wagons over the Hindenburgdamm from Niebüll, Schleswig-Holstein to Westerland in Sylt (or in the opposite direction).

Also, on 7 April 1909 the Great Western Railway started a formal service for the conveyance of motor cars through the Severn Tunnel.
