UIC-X wagons are passenger coaches that were developed in the 70s and 80s, particularly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This standard for express trains was established in the 1960s by the International Union of Railways (UIC). The Swiss Federal Railways bought these rail vehicles in large numbers to serve their network. In particular, they bought 10 dining cars built by Waggon und Maschinenbau GmbH Donauwörth in 1967. This design was inspired by the state of this rolling stock in the 1980s.
