Berliet RBMC

Passenger Rolling Stock and High-Speed Trainsets

The Berliet RBMC was a series of four metre-gauge petrol railcars built for the department of the Jura, Berliet's first bogie railcars, with no successors. Berliet won the 1925 tender for the Salins to Andelot line, and two cars were delivered there in 1928 as SA 2 and SA 3 and two to the Jura vicinal railways as T 4 and T 5. They were bidirectional with a petrol engine and manual gearbox. Overheating, hot axle boxes and fuel use of up to 114 litres per 100 kilometres led to little service, a long lawsuit that Berliet lost in 1935, and their return to Berliet in 1939.
