Historical details
The S-CHR vans were built after 1951 after Dutch Railways and clients required their trains to be transported at higher speeds. Most wagons also received better floors to be able to handle the weights of the now common forklifts. This wasn't sufficient and most wagons got modified with extra steel braces. The majority of the wagons in the series were assigned to general cargo duties, and received yellow stripes or triangles on the wagons. This gave them the nickname 'Geelbanders', or 'Yellow stripers'. In the 1970s the need for general cargo trains reduced drastically, and the few trains required were ran using the Gs wagons.
In the late 1950s a couple wagons were rebuilt into wagons for transporting poultry. The sole surviving poultry wagon, NS 5465 converted in the 1960s, has been preserved and restored at the Museum Buurtspoorweg in Haaksbergen.
