Class P six-wheeled Brake vans (Class C before 1900 and GSR class M)
|
In 1896 the W.A.G.R. inherited four 6-wheeled brake vans from the Great Southern Railway. These vans had started out life in 1888 as four-wheelers identical to the M.R.W.A. vans. They were numbered 1M-4M by the GSR. The rebuild to the longer 6 wheeled form was done at Albany workshops by the GSR but the dates are unknown. When taken over by the W.A.G.R. in August 1897 they became C87-C90 and in 1900 they were given new numbers in the wagon series: |
