Freight Wagons
The railway also has a selection of freight wagons, in order to preserve what remains of Britain's industrial history.
These include the ubiquitous '16 ton' mineral wagons which were associated with coal trains and the railway in the 1960s, and also examples of 21 ton hopper wagons also used for coal traffic.
