Registration country:
After the nationalization of the private railways had the SBB in
their fleet a wide variety of car types, which were not up to the
new requirements. Based on positive experiences with wagons with
axles of 9.00 m, standards were set for the new types to be
procured. For Nebenstrecken the biaxial second class carriages were
included in the program.
The cars were designed in the first class range with side corridor
and in the second class area with aisle. An abortion was available
in Wagenmitte. The car was divided into two compartments of 6 resp.
5 first-class seats and the large-capacity compartment with 24
second-class seats. Panoramic windows on the side door side and
twin windows are the special features for these cars.
