Product Features and Details
Even before the major Swiss railway companies were nationalised in 1903, when they merged to form the Swiss National Railway Company (SBB), the private railway companies had agreed to purchase freight cars called “Reformwagen” with virtually identical designs. Covered wagons were relatively short, with a frame length of 7.10 m and wheel bases of 4.40 m, 4.50 m or 5.00 m. These wagons were called K2 after 1902. They have 12.5 t weight loaded and 40 to 44 m2 loading volume. The SBB also had reproductions of the 5.0 m version built for some time afterwards. The K2s were also operated by all reputable private railways.
