Until 1939 the train ran as a luxury train operated by the International Sleeping Car Company CIWL from Amsterdam to Basel and over a certain period also Lucerne. After the Second World War initially operated as a normal express train the Edelweiss became one of the first train pairs of the new Trans-Europ-Express system (TEE) from 1957. It was discontinued in 1979.\nIt is a little known fact that the CIWL's Edelweiss Pullman Express was a direct competitor to the Rheingold at the time.y
