The H-Bahn (abbreviation of ''Hochgeschwindigkeitszug Bahn'') is the name of all Highspeed Rail services provided by RGB in Brumen. The H-Bahn is found in all RGB's subsidiaries and is generally its most profitable business units. The first H-Bahn network commenced operations in 1970 along the Dinsmark-Flusstadt rail corridor, which at the time was the busiest and most congested rail corridor in Brumen, was an immediate success. Ridership during its maiden trip was high and the service was able to maintain relatively consistent daily ridership levels. Highspeed Rail became a topic of national discussion, its popularity surged exponentially prompting the RGB to propose multiple expansion plans which were approved by the federal government. Both federal & private loans made by the RGB were approved and each of its subsidiaries soon began construction of their own H-Bahn lines. By 1974 all subsidiaries of RGB had at least one H-Bahn corridor in active service. During its infancy however the H-Bahn proposal was met with fierce resistance, mostly from automobile lobby groups who feared that the implementation of a rapid transit system would lead to a decline in automobile ownership. Politicians who were endorsed by these lobby groups became the most vocal opponents of the H-Bahn network, calling for an end of federal funding for the RGB's H-Bahn expansion programs. Opponents of the H-Bahn argued that the H-Bahn is not entitled to receive both federal & state funding and its continued funding should be derived from the RGBs' own revenues.

R-Bahn
The R-Bahnm (abbreviation of Regionalbahn) is the umbrella term for all conventional (non-HSR) services operated by RGB. Because of this it is often considered as a hybrid train service that combines the characteristics of inter-city, local and commuter train services.
