Sleeping-car of the SZD (Soviet railways), of the OSShD-Y type built in the 60s/70s. This type (24.5 m long, with UIC505 loading gauge) was designed for international service, the gauge can be changed by exchanging the bogies. Technically they are very similar to the long distance cars with wider carbodies. These cars have now disappeared from their intended service, replaced by new 26.4 m cars. Photo by Tobias B.
