Parkfield Foundries. Rear of Heavy Foundry
This wagon arrived on site complete, as a tanker. The tank was scrapped, and the drawgear removed at one end so the chassis could be used to move heavy castings around. It was slowly pushed along track buried in mud or sand, depending on the weather, by a Jones mobile crane. It often derailed, so the crane came in handy for re-railing it.
By the time I took this picture it was out of use and awaiting it's fate. August 1985
