12T open wagon M 411453
This 12T open wagon M 411453 was at Ruddington Fields station at the Great Central railway Nottingham in 2010
This wagon was at Ruddington in 2010. It had a load of sleepers on it I am not sure but it may be one of these two wagons below
BR Bogie Rail Sturgeon A 994271 was built in 1956? or was it BR Bogie Rail Sturgeon A 994770 built in 1953?
The wagons in the list below are just some of the wagons that have been saved at the Great Central Nottingham at Ruddington Fields. When the new bridge build over the Midland Main line and this railway is joined to the main Great Central and trains start running, these wagons will then become part of The Great Central wagon fleet.
The very slow pick up freight, stopping at small way side stations are long gone. Todays airbraked trains of long wheel base wagons can now do 60mph. These freights are now in block trains.
The local pick freight would pick up one wagon from a small wayside station. This train took the wagon to a larger freight yard. The wagons were then shunted onto to another freight train to another yard, were it would then be shunted into another pick freight. This traffic was slow. These trains used wagons that had change little over the years. It often took days to get from A to B.
Coal oil and fish and livestock plus parcels newspapers and mail were all moved by rail plus ever sort of cargo that day goes by road. Moving cargos like coal and iorn ore was why the railways were opened. The roads were often only muddy tracks when the railway first opened. Trains to carry people came later. Saving wagons is just as important as locomotives.
