Keeping its powder dry.
6M09, GBRf’s 1628 Drax – Liverpool biomass empties endures a downpour as it passes through Nottingley station on 20 October 2021, headed by 60002 “GRAHAM FARISH 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1970 – 2020”
The wagon is an IIA high capacity weatherproof hopper and it can be seen that its bogie is not at the end of the wagon but set further back. Internally these wagons have four separate hoppers (hopper 3 and hopper 4 can be observed labelled in this view). The design allows a more effective, balanced rapid discharge with two hoppers (2 & 3) between the bogies and the other two (1 & 4) outside the bogies at each end.
