Combined luggage and 2nd class passenger car type B5D, formerly 3rd class before 1956 (type C5D). This rolling stock was officially 
known as "lightened cars", but in fact it was nicknamed "sausage cars" ("voitures saucisson"), because of its overall design. It was 
delivered to the ETAT railways in 1936 and 1937, and the last withdrawals occured in 1980-1982 <BR>
Note the streamlined tail, with 3 lights (one big red central and 2 small in the corners) according to the old security rules, and 
the steam coupling for heating <BR>
