Translation of the history of the car, from Swedish:

Donated to SSS 1993 09 23 by AS Oslo Sporveier as snow blowing wagon OS No 358, former SS litt B257 No. 9243. Transported to SL Brommahallen 1993-11-23. Transported to Alkärrshallen, Djurgården, week 47 1995. Audit and conversion to original condition commenced in the winter of 1995-96 and completed _______. Equipped with rail brakes.

The wagon, originally an SNS type A2 from 1904, "built" into its current version in 1926. It was taken out of traffic in 1959 to be converted to the snow blower wagon for the subway. This meant, among other things, that it was deprived of its engine with associated electrical equipment. A diesel engine plus fan was installed in the cabin. The wagon was not self-sufficient but was connected between subway cars. In 1965 it was sold to the Oslo metro, where it did the corresponding service for a few years. After being set aside for many years, it was saved from the scrapping fate by SSS Stockholm department after warning calls from the Norwegian colleagues in Local Traffic History Foreningen. In 1996 - 2001, it was restored at Djurgårdslinjen's workshop to the 1926 version and painting. Many details, including seats, come from a previously scrapped A1, No 88.
