OPW refers to the common freight wagon fleet of the former socialist European countries. Members of the OPW, founded on July 1, 1964, were Bulgaria, Hungary, GDR, Poland, Romania, USSR and the CSSR.
The design of the cars had to meet certain technical requirements. For example, the cars could not have been built before 1950. They should have a modern welded construction and roller bearings and be suitable for speeds of up to 100 km/h.
The wagons remained the property of the railway administration that brought them in. The OPW wagons were primarily to be used for international traffic between the participating countries. The owned railway carried out the scheduled examinations of the wagons after the scheduled deadlines at its own expense.
