VFK - S.O.P. Second Class Sitting Car


For the standard gauge Spirit of Progress ( SOP ) service, several _BZ_ carriages were transferred from broad gauge in 1961.

The carriages were classed as VFK, numbers 1 to 6.

Cars 1 to 4 were converted in 1961.

Car 5 was built from the car shell of BZ 13. BZ 13 caught fire in the workshops during construction. It was issued to service in 1962.

Car 6 was converted in 1962.

In 1984, the class was renumbered from 1 - 6 to 271 - 276.

By 1991, VFK 1 had been converted to BZS_.
