Bar Car – Technical data sheet
The Ars 36 coach “La Traverse” is a former passenger coach taken over by TRAVYS. This passenger carriage was previously used by the RhB (Rhaetian Railway, abbreviated to RhB). It was converted into a bar carriage in the TRAVYS workshops. It was taken out of service in 2021.
The carriage was then taken over by a private individual with an interest in railways. It was moved to neighbouring France and kept in good condition.
The Ge 4/4 21 locomotive is a unique and exceptional machine. It has been running for 75 years (1950–2025) on the TRAVYS network, between Yverdon and Sainte-Croix.
This vehicle was built entirely by the Yverdon–Sainte-Croix railway company (now TRAVYS SA). It is equipped with an electric regenerative brake and a Charmilles Westinghouse pneumatic brake.
The Ars 36 coach “La Traverse” was put into service in 1913 by the Rhaetian Railway.
