DiveController Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/content.php/251-62-9-Container-Flat-Wagon-Drawings Anyone know when these were used and what for? Most of the wagons on the site seem to be 42'9 or shorter... Thanks in advance Quote
0 Mayner Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 The 62'9" wagons were air braked originally used on liner trains to from Dublin to Cork, Limerick and Galway. The wagons were converted to carry timber when the log traffic started in the mid-1990s. The Galway train was a Liner/Mail with a mixed consist of coaching and freight stock, with the wagon running at the rear of the train behind the mail & parcel vans. A short train of these wagons appears near the end of Colm O'Callaghans video Quote
0 DiveController Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 The sheer variety of rolling stock in these old videos is incredible. I have seen this video before and only now realize how much I missed the previous time! How all of this was lost in incomprehensible:confused: Quote
