I'm racking my brain on how you figured out that's a Barndoor.
Maybe the mirror arm? |
The inner cargo door pressings are different on Barndoor vs. Non-Barndoor

This photo excels in awesomeness.
Railbus parked in a roundhouse.
Most likely original paint with white roof and beltline.
Helvetica font signwriting which dominates European rail sinage to this day.
Unique center headlight mounted between windscreens.
Custom rear bumper.
Walk around side step and roof mounted grab handle for guaranteed safety violations.
Creepy guy in doorway behind bus.
