Combine car

[1] Most often, it was used on short lines to carry passengers and their luggage, as a full car would not have been cost effective.

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad operated a combine separated into an RPO and a smoking section.

In 1893, Pullman produced a combine with a baggage area, buffet, barber shop, bathroom with tub and a smoking section featuring a fireplace.

Although Amtrak operates many cars in its Superliner fleet that are labeled as coach-baggage, they are not often referred to as combines.

Via Rail still operates a few combines in the traditional sense, which carry passengers, baggage and supplies for villages en route.
