Passenger Coach Bghws DR

Info about the original

While there was no shortage of older baggage cars for the use along with the Reko coaches and the Raw Delitzsch additionally converted older baggage cars into socalled "modernised cars" at the same time, there was lack of a wagon type with only a small baggage compartment for the use on railway lines with low traffic volume. A Reko coach with baggage compartment was therefore developed in 1969, which received the designation BDghwse and already an EDP-compatible number. Of this type, 202 units were procured from 1973 onwards many of which were also used in express train traffic and thus reached the FRG, the CSSR, and Poland.
