This bogie coach was acquired in 1905 by the Companhia do Caminho de Ferro do Porto à Póvoa e Famalicão, where it remained in regular use until 1978.
Internally, it is divided into two halls, a central corridor and arranged 2x2 seats.
From 1927, with the merger of the Companhia PPF and the Companhia de Guimarães (CFG), it extends the service to the Companhia do Norte (NP), starting to circulate to Guimarães and Fafe in 1932. After being integrated in the CP (1947), they were renumbered from CEyf 101 to 105.
Originally it was of 3rd class and in 1963 it is reclassified as 2nd class, without undergoing any modification.
In 1974 it is slightly reformulated, receiving a painting in red and the numbering UIC 2929 004 (Union Internationale des Chemins de fer/International Union of Railways).
In 1978 it was transferred to the Tua line, ensuring the reserve and eventual reinforcements in times of greater affluence.
It was officially withdrawn from service in 1980. After this date it integrated the composition of certain special steam circulations.
