When the Munich S-Bahn opened (I was working there at the time), we
were given to understand that the S in that case was for "Schnell".

Then I was confusing Koeln with somewhere else that was different

I always thought that S was for Stadtbahn in Germany and Schnellbahn
in Austria (namely Vienna). Am I wrong ?
