passenger carriage

Wheeled people mover

A passenger carriage is a railway vehicle designed to carry people, as distinct from freight cars.

The term is more common in British English, where Americans would typically say passenger car or coach.

The passenger carriages were coupled behind the locomotive.

In older usage, it could also mean a horse-drawn vehicle for transporting people.
