LEB RBe 4/8 41–50

what is it?

LEB RBe 4/8 41–50 is a class of ten two-car low-floor metre gauge multiple units, operated by the Chemin de fer Lausanne-Échallens-Bercher (LEB) and used on their Lausanne–Échallens–Bercher railway line. The units were built by Stadler Rail, at their Altenrhein factory, to a non-articulated design unique to the LEB, albeit with some similarities to the articulated FLIRT. The units were ordered and delivered in two tranches, with the first six units (41–46) ordered in 2008 and delivered in 2010; the second tranche (46–50) was delivered in 2017. The units are 42.1 metres (138 ft) long, 2.655 metres (8 ft 8.5 in) wide, and accommodate 306 passengers, of whom 118 are seated.
