An old box-car type K3 which was modified to a battery-transport car (Akkumulatoren Transportwagen Zf II) with road-no. 40 85 9529 201-7. But it was modified again and got higher side-walls and strange front-sides. I don't know anything about the reasons or cars actually assignment. But here in Industriewerk Olten is the place, where are done the maintenance of Switzerlands double-deck coaches. Car was photographed on 25th of March 2007.

I don't see a reason, why battery-transport cars are put into directory /pix/ch/SBB_CFF_FFS/work/rescue/ (compare: http://www.railfaneurope.net/pix/ch/SBB_CFF_FFS/work/rescue/Xs_SBB_40_85_95_29_204-1.jpg). SBB has cars only for purposes of rolling-stock maintenance. For example such, which are used for transport of replacement-parts and -components between different "Industriewerken" (maintenance shops).
