Conversion

By 31st October 1961, it was converted into a boarding outfit car at the Lviv Locomotive Wagon Repair Plant, and on 8th March 1962, it was transferred to the Experimental Track Laying Machine Station No. 1 (Reshetnikovo) of the Oktyabrskaya Railway.

In 1987, the car underwent repairs and was included in the train that took part in the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the USSR railways.
