UC191 was born as UC805 in 1924 in a batch of 13 other UC's. They originally came with one of three bogies 3181, X25467 or X25340 and had 8"x4-1/2" plain bearings. UC wagons were swapped to X25830 bogies between 1967-69 and then converted to 'B' package roller bearings from around 1980.

UC191 is 7 years older than Wab794. It is fitted with a petrol generator and electric water pump. A bespoke controller starts and stops the generator and pump when water is needed in the Wab's tanks. The Wab has a sister controller that commands the UC to pump water when required.
It also has an electric water tank gauge in the Wab and UC. A set of red lights flash on the water tank when the tank is about to overflow during filling.
