Prototype: In the mid-1950s, the ever-increasing volume of goods and the aging of the Pwg, some of which were still from the state railway era, led to a significant shortage of freight train luggage cars. Here, too, the full refurbishment of the old Pwg proved to be uneconomical and purchasing a new one was not financially feasible. The Pwghs 54 was therefore created on the basis of the Gms 54. This was not provided with ventilation hatches, but did have a toilet and a train driver’s compartment that could be reached from the front. If necessary, these Pwghs 54 could be easily converted into G-Wagen. By the end of the 1950s, 1,200 Pwghs 54s had been built. The vehicles used in express freight train service were provided with a red “E” on a white background on the sides of the wagons. Only with increasing diesel and electric traction did freight train baggage cars gradually become obsolete.
