Class H (class JW before 1900) GSR type low-sided wagons (GSR class L)
|
In 1898 the W.A.G.R. took over the stock of the Great Southern Railway. Many of the G.S.R. wagons were built on a standard 14'-0" long underframe, as were these low-sided wagons. The same design were also used by the M.R.W.A. as their class I. The original GSR numbers of this group are not known. However, a partial photo in the Battye Library collection (BA888/6) shows one, numbered 15L. |

It is believed that the original W.A.G.R. number sequence for these wagons was 4316-4339. However, by 1900 numbers 4336 and 4338 were also no longer in service. Numbers 4317/8, 4328, and 4339 were been rebuilt to class F louvre vans at about the same time 1900/01. Before 1908 numbers 4319, 4331 and 4333 were also out of service as these numbers were re-used for new GC class wagons in that year. The demise of the remaining wagons in this group seems to have been as follows:
