DB AG couchette car Bvcmz 248 painted in blue for CityNightLine trains in Dresden Hbf (May 2000). These cars are owned by DB AG, but painted to match CNL rolling stock; some of them have big "CityNightLine" inscriptions. They were modernized from older couchette cars, and were introduced because the sleeperette cars are not very popular among travellers, but the 2-bed sleeping cars were too expensive for many.
