Description
British Railways built 1000 4-wheeled pig iron wagons, used to transport heavy ingots of crude iron from the smelting furnaces to steelworks for further refining. These ingots were often referred to as “pigs”, hence the curious name given to the wagons. Some were later converted into Coil C wagons.British Railways built 1000 4-wheeled pig iron wagons, used to transport heavy ingots of crude iron from the smelting furnaces to steelworks for further refining.
