B = Second Class Passenger Coach
e = Electric train heating (elektrischer Zugheizung)
Pw = Packwagen (Luggage Car)
= Coach with corridor, gangway, and bellows for express trains coaches
4 = Number of axels per coach
38/52 = Year the coach was built / Year the coach was or rebuilt
N 11 = First class identification
N 14 = First & Second class (combined) identification
N 17 = Second class (combined) identification
Ffm = coachs home or maintenance station is Frankfurt, Germany
Kar = coachs home or maintenance station is Karlsruhe, Germany
