What is a "baggage car"?
A baggage car is a train carriage used to store passengers' luggage, large items, and other belongings during the journey. It is usually located at the rear or front of the train and is designed to accommodate suitcases, boxes, and sometimes even bicycles or sports equipment. Baggage cars are typically locked and monitored to ensure the safety of passengers' items, and they provide a convenient space for storing belongings that do not fit in the passenger compartment.
Examples
They loaded their suitcases into the baggage car before boarding.
