  "definition": "A railway vehicle that combines separate sections for carrying both passengers and freight or mail within a single car body. These combination cars were an efficient solution for serving branch lines or running on trains with low traffic volumes, avoiding the need to operate a separate baggage car. The passenger compartment was usually smaller than in a dedicated coach, with the remaining space configured for baggage, mail, or express parcels.",
