RDC Deutschland Gruppe

The story of RDC Deutschland begins across the Atlantic, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Henry Posner III founded the Railroad Development Corporation (RDC). Driven by a vision to revitalize railway systems through bold partnerships and sustainable investment, RDC expanded its global footprint to Europe. In 2009, this ambition took root in Germany with the establishment of RDC Deutschland GmbH. What started as a strategic entry into the European market has since evolved into a significant player in the German rail industry, challenging the status quo with a philosophy centered on being the 'friendly choice' in passenger transport.

Over the years, RDC Deutschland has diversified its operations, moving beyond simple investment to become a hands-on operator. The company made headlines with the launch of the Hamburg-Köln-Express (HKX), bringing competition to long-distance German rail. Today, its portfolio is robust and varied, including the iconic 'blue' RDC AUTOZUG Sylt, which connects the mainland to the island of Sylt, and the Alpen-Sylt Nachtexpress, reviving the romance of night train travel across the country. With a strong commitment to safety, service, and its employees, RDC Deutschland continues to grow, managing infrastructure and workshops while fostering a family-owned culture that prioritizes people over profit.
