Features a glass front door window, throwback to the original 1960s design when glass was used instead of mesh. 81-616 is part of this element, 58, the one below.
Displays a small metal badge reading “81-1616,” the original 1960s numbering scheme. 81-616 was also once paired with the Jeumont train, and 80-058 shown above is its middle car.
