The Prototype: RhB Covered Freight Cars in Era III

The Rhaetian Railway, founded in 1888, is one of Switzerland’s best-known narrow-gauge railroads. During Era III (approx. 1945–1970), covered freight cars such as the Gbk 5528 played an essential role in freight transport. These cars were used to transport weather-sensitive goods and were characterized by their enclosed design, which protected the cargo from external influences. The design also allowed for efficient loading and secured the freight during transport.
