41 ton Covered Grain Hopper Wagon.
DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Whitemoor Yard.
Date : 04/01/1987.
Type : Covered Grain Hopper Wagon.
Weight : 40.9 t GLW / 12.9 t Tare.
Number : BRT 7789.
Number Series : BRT 7745 to BRT 7799.
Builder : 1971 by BREL Doncaster Works.
TOPS Code : PAA.
Design Code : PA004C.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
Once part of a large fleet of 4 wheeled and bogie vehicles used to convey malt and grain between East Anglia or North East Scotland and various grain terminals around the UK. Alas this traffic has vanished completely from the UK railway network largely since the demise of the Speedlink network under BR. In the later years of operation most were leased by BRT to TSL and ran under the "Grainflow" banner as seen on this vehicle.
