This is a covered freight car manufactured in the U.S. in 1955. The freight car greatly devoted to the transport of the principal products of the districts running on the Suin Line (Suwon-Songdo, Incheon) and Suyeo Line (Suwon-Yeoju), which were narrower railroads than standard ones. This car stopped its running at the same time of the abolition of Suin Line in 1995 and is currently not in use.
