Ambulance/Dorm car (So) of SNCF, seen on Ski Train 5895 Paris Austerlitz-Briançon.
<p>
Those cars were built as ambulances, primarily to run on pilgrim services. They are also used as dorms for youth parties at peaks.
<p>
While these cars are technically very close to conventional Corail Couchettes cars, they are devoid of air-conditioning.

This car is seen in original livery (Grey/Green).
