Not only the Royal Württemberg State Railway Company but also several formerly private railways in Switzerland purchased four-axle vestibule coaches based on the "American system". Around 300 of these coaches were still in existence and taken over by the Swiss National Railway Company when it was founded in 1902. These coaches were operated on Swiss National Railway Company routes for around 40 years. Many passenger trains were put together out of old coach material. It was not until 1941 that the last of these coaches, which were by then 82 years old, disappeared from the Swiss National Railway Company´s tracks, although some of the smaller private railways, such as the Oensingen Balsthal Railway Company, continued to use them for several years more!
