A wagon ('waggon' in British and Commonwealth English) is a heavy four-wheeled horse drawn vehicle pulled by draught animals; it was formerly often called a wain, and if low and sideless may be called a dray, trolley or float. Wagons are used for transporting goods, agricultural materials or sometimes people.
