A railway vehicle used exclusively for historical or tourist purposes falls under § 18 of the Railway Construction and Operation Regulations. This means that the vehicle is used to demonstrate or operate historical or special forms of traction technology or rolling stock and is used exclusively for tourist, recreational or educational purposes. In contrast to commercially operating railways, the purposes of operation of museum and tourist railways are purposes in themselves. The operation of the railway vehicle itself constitutes the actual purpose and not the transport of passengers or goods from A to B. Consequently, the operation of railway vehicles used only for historical or tourist purposes is not intended to make a profit by transporting passengers or goods. Instead, the aim, if any, is only to cover the costs of operating the railway itself. Empty, transfer and workshop journeys are also permitted to fulfil these purposes.
