Between 1956 and 1964, 70 pieces were procured from the dust silo wagons of the UC model in different building series. Especially in the 60er, the construction of power plants in the mountains made cement transport increasingly important, as large quantities had to be transported. The usual transport in paper bags had to be expected to lose 10%, in addition to the time-consuming reload procedure. These cars were able to take up 15 tons of dust-shaped cargo â at a net weight of 8.5 tons. They were loaded at a silo directly from above by gravity, the discharge was pneumatic, the 15 tons were unloaded in 15 minutes. Model of a RhB cement silo wagon.
