1991

In 1991, this unit is converted from the B 350 passenger coach to a saloon car with panoramic windows.

Initially it is registered as SR 50 62 BT 89-35 751-5 , which is very strange as the owner code "62" stood at the time for the Freight Wagon Association of Swiss Private Railways (SP) and this is definitely not a freight wagon.

As the Bodensee-Toggenburg Railway (BT) receives its own owner code "48" at the same period, the coach is very soon renumbered SR 50 48 BT 89-35 451-1.

NB: Before the end of the 1980s, only the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB CFF FFS) and the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon Railway (BLS) used UIC registration numbers for their passenger coaches as they were the only two Swiss railway companies with routes outside Swiss borders. From the beginning of 1990s, other Swiss railway companies received owner codes and started numbering their vehicles in the UIC twelve digit format.

2013
