BDe 4/4 II is the series designation for meter-gauge railcars with second-class and luggage compartments of the Chemins de fer du Jura (CJ) and Appenzeller Bahnen (AB). The vehicles of the CJ carry the road numbers 601–604, those of the AB the numbers 41–45.
First series: CJ numbers 611-614 and AB numbers 41-43
history
The Chemins de fer du Jura (CJ) handled traffic on their narrow-gauge network with the BDe 4/4 I and De 4/4 , which date from 1952/53, until 1985 .
The only newer railcars of the then Appenzeller Bahn (AB) were the two BDe 4/4 I 46-47 delivered in 1968. At that time the AB were still dependent on the ABe 4/4 from 1933.
To modernize their rolling stock, the two railway companies jointly ordered from Flug- und Fahrzeugwerke Altenrhein (FFA), Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft (SIG) and Brown, Boveri & Cie. (BBC) seven new railcars.

Which served as a model for the BDe 4/4 II gear railcar BDeh 4/4 11 to 15 of St. Gallen-Gais-Appenzell-Altstaetten train (SGA), which they also resemble visually. However, the entrances with folding doors are not arranged between the passenger compartments, but between the luggage compartment and the passenger compartment. The luggage compartment is slightly larger than that of the predecessors of the SGA. All of these railcars only have one driver's cab . On the other side there is a car crossing so that they can only run together with a control car . The BDe 4/4 II of the CJ and the AB have a similar red paint with a white stripe.
Despite the same electrical equipment with hopper control , the BDe 4/4 II are 8.5 tonnes lighter than the SGA BDeh 4/4 multiple units, as the gear drive could be dispensed with.
The same electrical equipment and the same bogies as the BDe 4/4 II have the CJ De 4/4 II 411 luggage railcar, which was converted in 1986 . Its multiple control is compatible with the BDe 4/4 II and the associated control car.
Name and coat of arms
The AB railcars have the following names and coats of arms:
Second series: AB numbers 44 and 45
1989 fused the Appenzeller path (AB) and the SGA to the Appenzeller paths (AB). In 1993, the new railway company added the BDe 4/4 II 34–35 and BDeh 4/4 II 16–17 to its rolling stock . Although the electrical equipment with the hopper control no longer corresponded to the state of the art, the AB decided to replicate the railcars built in the eighties for cost reasons. The vehicles to be reordered can be recognized by the flush outward swinging doors instead of the folding doors built into a niche.
A lot has changed with the suppliers. The FFA was sold to Schindler and the Altenrhein plant was operated under the name Schindler Waggon Altenrhein (SWA). BBC, as supplier of the electrical part, became part of the ABB group .
Associated control and intermediate cars
The two railways acquired associated control cars from the FFA to create shuttle trains . In order to be able to form three-part shuttle trains, the CJ added six second-class cars to their order. Like the control cars, they belong to the standard car II .
For the second series, the AB procured cars of the newer type PA-90 . In addition to the B 234-235 and ABt 134-135, there were six intermediate cars and two control cars with gear brakes for the former SGA line .

The CJ driving cars can also be used to control the BDe 4/4 6 to 8 of the Transports Régionaux Neuchâtelois (TRN), which operate on the La Chaux-de-Fonds – Les Ponts-de-Martel route. The ABt 141–144 of the AB also fit the Ge 4/4 1.
Changes
When the railways in the canton of Appenzell merged to form the new Appenzeller railways in 2006 , the vehicle numbers 31-35 were already occupied by the BDe 4/8, which came from the Trogenerbahn . The BDe 4/4 were given the numbers 41–45, the associated control cars ABt 131–135 were renumbered accordingly to ABt 141–145.
