Prototype History: The Eaos gondola is a four-axle open freight wagon used by numerous European railway companies . The cars are versatile and can be used for the transport of coal, ores, stones, scrap, wood, etc. These cars were purchased from 1978 by the then German Federal Railways .

The cars were specifically created to satisfy the UIC standardization in the early 1970s. The first series was the Eaos 106. Later versions of these cars were equipped with a steel floor and known as Eaos-x 051. Any remaining Eaos 106 still in service in 2003 were rebuilt and fully refurbished, they were given the name Eaos-x 075. These upgrades were completed in 2014.

Some cars have a ground-operated handbrake. To secure cargo straps can be attached to the car, attached to the long sides eyelets. All cars have side doors, most of them have two doors on each side.

Road Name History: As the market-leading train operating company, SJ links Sweden together, and opens the doors to Scandinavia's capitals: Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. Thereby creating opportunities for people to live and work or study in different places and to travel in a convenient and sustainable manner. Some 160 years ago, SJ's very first train departed from Gothenburg Central Station. Today, we operate 1,200 daily departures from 284 stations — from Narvik in the North to Copenhagen in the South, and from Stockholm in the East to Oslo in the West. SJ is a limited liability company owned by the Swedish state and is tasked with operating profitable passenger rail services, both independently and on behalf of national and regional traffic authorities. SJ's own rail services are primarily long-distance, comprising high-speed and night-train services as well as regional rail services between major cities in Sweden and the Scandinavian capitals. Tendered services mainly comprise shorter rail journeys for commuting to work or school within one county or region. One such example is SJ's subsidiary, SJ Götalandståg, which is tasked with operating commuter and regional trains in Western Sweden. SJ is part of the solution for meeting Sweden's climate targets and all our trains in Sweden carry the Good Environmental Choice (Bra Miljöval) label.
