First (元, rf ngwan; abbreviated F on most railways) was a common body style on passenger coaches on Themiclesian railways. Towards the very end of the 19th century, they were ecclipsed by the Drawing Room coach (D) in fashionable travel, but were still manufactured and used from time to time, especially on royal and chartered trains.

Nomenclature

By default, F caoches are in the corridor style, whereas one in the compartment style are explicitly specified, since coachs containing only first-class compartments were vanishingly rare. By contrast, a FS or first-second composite was in the compartment style by default.
