Waggonfabrik Uerdingen AZAFF & BZAFF Series Passenger Coaches • Royal Railway Cambodia

Waggonfabrik Uerdingen AZAFF & BZAFF Series Passenger Coaches

The Waggonfabrik Uerdingen AZAFF & BZAFF Series Passenger Coaches are locomotive-hauled passenger coaches of the Royal Railway, operating on passenger routes throughout the Kingdom. The coaches are of similar look to the Waggonfabrik Uerdingen DMU ZZ800 Series, but do not come with a driving cab or motor. There is also a possibility that the coaches have once been middle cars of a Waggonfabrik Uerdingen DMU ZZ800 Series, but there has been no evidence of it so far.
