CIWL3345.jpg (27421 bytes)

Dining-car CIWL No. 3345 D. This car was stored north of the wagon hall in the freight station of Freiburg (Breisgau). The windows and doors were missing, but most of the interior exists, it was disassembled and stored inside the car. The inscriptions are silver decals, they seem to be similar to the original golden/yellow inscriptions. I saw this car in this state in 1995, and when I took the photo in April 1996, nothing had changed. This car was in active service until 1988, then changed its owner several times. The newest information is that it is stored in Elboeuf, France, for a future museum. (Information by Lothar Behlau)

ciwlrest.jpg (124248 bytes)

I saw this CIWL dining-car in a rather run-down state in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, in autumn 1994. According to new info by Lothar Behlau, it is probably the WR 2881 (Smethwick 1926), which went out of active service before 1969, then was bought by Intraflug in 1977, but the planned restoration did not take place. I don't know what happened to this car meanwhile.

B_CIWL_WR.jpg (41667 bytes)

Until recently, the EuroCity trains `Vauban' and `Iris' between Brussels and Switzerland had quite old dining-cars. These were rebuilt in 1955 by Breda from older cars (built since 1927) damaged in the second world war. These cars, CIWL No. 4265 to 4269, were overhauled in 1985/1986, with a renewed (old-style) interior and air conditioning, and repainted in orange to match the Eurofima cars. A few years ago, they were replaced by ex-SNCF Gril-Express cars and SBB CFF FFS dining-cars in these trains.
