| Details: Of the various wagons found in Upminster Station on Saturday 29th August 2009, this was the most interesting. HD873 was one of six high-deck flat wagons built by Procor in 1987. As can be seen, these are flat wagons that are used for carrying over-length pieces of trackwork. Wagons with normal floor heights (such as the RW-series on the left and the GP-series) are not suitable for such loads due to their raised headstocks. A notable feature of the HD wagons is the way the floor is narrower towards the centre of the wagon. This could be to keep the wagons within the loading gauge on curves, particularly if they are longer than other stock. On the adjacent track are a pair of battery locos flanking tamper TMM774. | ||
