Wagon Type

[GNRi1959]

Can anyone shed any light on the wagon type seen here at Omagh in 1964 and the van parked behind the loco?

 

Please

The van behind the loco is an old GNR standard covered van, behind which 9and to the right of it) are standard CIE "Bullied" corrugated open wagons. These will have come northvia the North Wall - Dundalk goods leaving them in Dundalk, and the Dundalk - Belfast (Grosvenor Road) goods dropping them at Porteedown.

On the far left is a fitted parcels van of "Y" class, repannelled in planking by the UTA.

I have to disagree about the van JB. With outside W irons and the roof shape, it has to be an ex NCC van. GNR vans had a much flatter roof.

Interesting, David

I apologise about the nature of the cropping but too many copyrighted photographs are being snatched off here for facebookers sites.

Ah, indeed, you’re 100% right!
