Passenger car 120A, Bwixt, Bh, Bp, B11p, "Bonanza".
The 120A wagon, Bwixt, was developed in Wrocław at the PaFaWag factory in 1972. It has been in operation since 1973. The 120A wagon is a variant of the 104A family "Y" standard wagons already produced in Poland. The wagon was designed mainly for non-electrified, local routes with moderate passenger traffic. Complete wagons replaced wagons built before 1945, of which PKP had a large inventory in the 70s of the 20th century. Together with the withdrawal of the last pre-war carriages, carriages of the type 120A, together with the older 43A, 101A and 102A, became the basic rolling stock in passenger trains on local lines at PKP. After 2002, together with the Bhp series double-deck carriages, they became the only carriages in use on schedule, equipped with efficient steam heating devices. The rest of the carriages had only electric heating.
