The Prototype: K.W.St.E. high-sided freight car in Era I

The Royal Württemberg State Railways, founded in 1843, were the state railways of the Kingdom of Württemberg and later of the Free People’s State of Württemberg. During Era I (ca. 1835–1920), they played a decisive role in the region’s freight transport. High-sided freight cars such as Car 172 were used to transport bulk goods and other high-volume cargo. These cars were characterized by their high side walls, which allowed for greater loading capacity, as well as their sturdy wooden construction and the typical brakeman’s seats, which ensured safe operation.
