Three of the railcars, designated as ET 89 since 1941, arrived in the Western occupation zones. The Deutsche Bundesbahn placed the ET 89 04 back into service. Used in Munich, it served almost exclusively as a personal shuttle for railway workers between various Munich stations. For the class reform in 1956, it was renamed from "C4el" to "B4el" before being taken out of service on 2nd Sept. 1959. Unfortunately, it was not preserved in a museum.
