About 1982/83, some ANR cars were leased/purchased by Vicrail for short term interurban use.
ANR car 607 became BH 1 and was painted VR blue/gold. Seating capacity was 64 passengers.
In 1987, the car was removed from service and was passed to a private train operator. It is believed the car became 607 again. The train was the 'Southern Cross Express'. On this train the car was painted a dark olive green colour with gold striping.
