In 2000 12 mail coaches were obtained from DBAG to be rebuilt to express
freight coaches for the Overnight Express Amsterdam-Milan. 10 of these
were rebuilt in the workshop of Haarlem and then sent to Wagons-Lits in Ostende
(Belgium) to be finished as express freight cars Dm 51 84 92-99 060-071.
The Overnight Express was no success, and the coaches were hardly used. In
mid-2007 NS Reizigers (the passenger operator) took over two of them,
for braking when transporting EMUs or DMUs and as coupling translator
between these trainsets and the locomotive. They were repainted in the
yellow-blue InterCity livery.
