From DAVID TAYLOR at 2008-01-30 13:41:15 : IS THIS THE SAME TYPE OF WAGON THAT WAS SEEN ON THE LEAMSIDE LINE CROSSING THE VICTORIA VIADUCT AROUND 1969
From Brian H Williams at 2008-01-30 23:35:39 : It's the same general type of wagon, but the ones used on the Redcar - Consett flow were quite a bit smaller. Some of these ones on internal flows (you still see them within the Redcar-Lackenby site and at Scunthorpe) gross out at 500t+- quite scary when you see the speed at which they move round the site. At least one deraile dat Teeside back in the 1980s, and had to be cut up on site when it had cooled down. The ones that travelled on BR tracks were 'only' a couple of hundred tonnes fully laden. Most of the ones in the UK were built by a British Steel subsiduary called Distington Engineering at Workington.
From Brian Adams at 2009-03-02 23:32:37 : This is the most unusual train load I have ever seen. Unusual, exciting, beautiful.
