Wagon type 120A is a passenger car designed in 1972 and mass-produced at the State Wagon Factory in Wroclaw from 1976 to 1984. Used originally by PKP, then by PKP Przewozy Regionalne, and more recently by Polregio. Called Bonanza by rail enthusiasts and by railroaders. "Served" in local traffic on non-electrified lines, where the number of travelers was too small to use Bhp-type double-decker cars, and too large for motor cars such as SN61.
To date, few active 120A railcars have survived considering the total number of units produced, which exceeded 700. According to sources, there are 11 cars currently active and used in normal scheduled traffic.
