The Palatine AB4ü from 1897 are four-axle compartment wagons with side aisles for express trains according to sample sheets 013 I and 013 II from the wagon register from 1913 for the Palatinate network of the Royal Bavarian Railways .
History / procurement
With the increased number of supraregional passenger trains and express trains in the first decade after 1900, the Palatinate Railways also had to grapple with being able to provide appropriate types of wagons for these types of train. In particular, the wagon compensation agreed with the neighboring railways prompted the Pfalzbahn to also procure wagons for upscale passenger train traffic. A total of four cars of this type were therefore procured in 1897 as cars for 1st and 2nd class.
commitment
According to the numbering scheme applicable to the Palatinate Railways, this type of wagon was procured by all three companies of the Palatinate Railways. It can therefore be assumed that they were used in the high-quality express trains of the respective routes. This included routes such as Saarbrücken-Landau-Bruchsal-Munich or Saarbrücken-Ludwigshafen-Frankfurt.
The two cars according to sheet 013 II were used as buffet cars in the Gotthard express trains on the Holland-Switzerland-Italy route via Bingerbrück, Bad Münster, Neustadt aH, Strasbourg and Basel. They ran on trains 84/85 from May 1897 and were operated by DESG. As early as the summer timetable of 1898, the cars were replaced by regular ISG dining cars . The two cars were then converted and the kitchens replaced by two 2nd class compartments.
Whereabouts
When the Pfalzbahn was incorporated into the Bavarian State Railroad in 1909, these cars were also taken over. In 1920 the cars came to the Reichsbahn's Bavarian Group Administration and were subordinated to the Ludwigshafen directorate. There they received the generic code AB4ü Bay 97a or AB4ü Bay 97b to distinguish them from the existing wagons according to sheet 75 of the K.Bay.Sts.B. The further route is not known, as the Reichsbahn did not keep separate data for the former Palatinate wagons.
Constructive features
Underframe
The frame: consisted of riveted rolled sections. The outer side rails were U-shaped with outward-facing flanges. To support the car body due to the large pivot spacing, a truss frame made of profiles and pillars was installed in the plane of the outer longitudinal beams. As a towing device, the wagons had screw couplings with safety hooks according to VDEV , the drawbar was spring-loaded throughout. The wagons had double-slotted basket buffers with an installation length of 650 mm. The buffer plates had a diameter of 400 mm. These were later partly replaced by case buffers.
drive
The cars still had the short bogies of Bavarian design with a wheelbase of 2,500 mm. These had a frame riveted from sheet metal and angles. The axles were stored in sliding axle bearings. The wheels had spoked wheel bodies and a wheel diameter of 1,014 mm. In addition to a handbrake, two systems of compressed air brakes were used, which enabled the transition to neighboring railway companies.
Car body
The frame of the car body consisted of wooden studs, planked with wood on the inside and sheet metal on the outside. The straight side walls were pulled down over the outer longitudinal beams. At both ends of the car there were passages closed by bellows, the entrance doors were retracted. The wagons had a flat barrel roof. The car had a toilet and a side passage at both ends of the car. The two compartments of the first class were at one end of the car, the compartments of the second class followed.
Furnishing
The car was originally illuminated by gas incandescent lamps. After 1920 these were replaced by electric lights. The cars were heated with steam. Ventilation was provided by static fans on the roof.
