Freight Focus, the Decline of the Four Wheel Railfreight Wagon
Показать описание
Wagons featured in this video include the PCA presflo, PGA hopper, PAA covhop, CDA covhop, PNA, VGA van, IZA twin two-axle van and the SSA scrap wagon.
The short wheelbase four wheel, two axle freight wagon has been a fixture of the UK rail freight scene from the earliest days of the railways.
In recent years they have become increasing rare, either because the commodities they carried have been lost to the railways or they have been replaced by bigger, high capacity bogie type wagons.
In this video I will look at some of the four wheel wagons that can still be found on freight flows plus those that have been recently withdrawn from service.
We begin with the PCA presflo cement wagon. Dating back to the 1970s these wagons can still be seen working on a number of flows.

The PGA hopper wagon has been in use since the early 1970s. In 1988 Redland (later trading as Lafarge) created a innovative self discharge train. The PGA wagons unloaded onto a conveyor which was linked between the wagons and then to a discharging wagon at the end of the rake. Most of the PGAs have now been withdrawn or scrapped.

The PAA covered hopper wagons which look similar to the PGAs date back to the 1980s were used for industrial sand traffic from Middleton Towers. They have now been replaced by high capacity bogie wagons.

The IZA twin two-axle van was introduced between 1986 and 1987. Although each wagon has four wheels they are permanently coupled together in pairs, effectively forming an eight wheeled articulated wagon.
From the outset, they were designed to work traffic between the UK and the continent via the Dover train ferry and later, the Channel Tunnel. The Dollands Moor to Daventry water train is formed of these IZA 'twin' wagon to this day.
