XingLiChe:
This translates to "Cargo Cargo Car". The type is XL21 and the
serial number is 3318.
This wagon is surprisingly exhibited in the state it was in when
last operating. It is both dusty and dirty, which actually gives you
a pretty good idea of what it would have been like to be working in a
cargo wagon.
Also somewhat unusual is the number of workers traveling with the cargo.
In most Western cargo wagons there would be one or none at all. In this
car there was room for at least 10 people to sit on fixed benches and
chairs.
As other standard railroad cars the cargo wagon had its own heating system
with a boiler and pipes running through the personnel compartments. You
can see it running alongside the floorboard on the top right picture
between the bench and the desk.
Note the old fashioned handbrake on the bottom right picture.
