ÖBB sleeping-car type P at the end of a night train in Linz. Built in 1955 for CIWL with a new stainless steel carbody. Originally equipped with small "upper" and "lower" single-bed compartments, these cars were rebuilt in the 90s and now have 10 three-bed compartments. Photo: tobias b köhler

OeBB_WLP_Graz.jpg (60233 bytes)

In 1955, the CIWL received a series of new stainless steel sleeping cars type P with twenty small single-bed compartments, 24.05 m long. In the mid-1990s, the 40-year-old cars were still in a good state, so CIWL Oostende modernized a number of them for the ÖBB, NS and NMBS/SNCB with ten spacious three-bed compartments. The windows on the compartment side were renewed (two small windows per compartment). Even among much more recent rolling stock in today's night trains, the type P still doesn't appear outdated (except perhaps for its manual doors), just different. This one is in the EN 464 ZÜRICHSEE from Graz to Zürich. Graz Hbf, 2001-08-28. Photo: tobias b köhler
