This UH-type sleeper was owned first by the CIWL, for the Madrid-Paris direct train "La Puerta del Sol". When the pool TEN was formed, was bought by SNCF. Finally, it returns to Spain, bought by Renfe for domestic services. Madrid-Fuencarral. Photo and scan by R.Meléndez (melendezmoraga@eresmas.com).

UH Sleeping-car (WLUH-4607) of RENFE, seen idle at Madrid-Fuencarral. Unlike UH cars of other operators, those of RENFE had always retained their original CIWL livery and original slam-doors. These ran on the "Puerta del Sol" (Paris-Madrid) from 1969 to 1981, and then on Iberic services, until their withdrawal in the late-80s. Madrid-Fuencarral. 1991.
