Refrigerator Car SBB, set of 3

From the end of the fifties onwards, the UIC Standard 1 (St. 1) refrigerator car was purchased by nearly every European railway. The aluminium doors and modified ventilation change-over of the Swiss St1 cars distinguished them from the conventional design. In Switzerland, industrial manufacturers also have cars like these, such as Bell AG in Basel. These cars were used to transport meat specialities from Basel to the rest of Switzerland and to neighbouring countries.
