During the Showa era, when rail transportation played a leading role in logistics, railroad luggage transportation was carried out by luggage cars connected to passenger trains, but dedicated luggage trains were operated in line with the increase in transportation volume. As a result, express luggage trains were also operated on main lines such as the Tokaido / Sanyo Main Line and Tohoku Main Line.

A considerable number of luggage passenger cars modified from old passenger cars were placed, and a wide variety of luggage trains composed of steel postal cars, pallet luggage passenger cars and postal passenger cars were seen.

In 1968, pallet transportation began with a new pallet car that appeared as a trump card for the modernization of cargo transportation. Among them, Mani 44 is called the completed version of the pallet luggage car. At first glance, it looks like a freight car, and you can see it playing an active role in combination with conventional luggage cars and postal cars.
