Comments: |
The YE series covers three types of wagons. Most numerous are the Long-Welded Rail Handling Trains (LWRT) built in the 1980s. The trains included components numbered in the CEPS engineers plant numbering series. These were power wagons DR89000-89015 (coded YXA), gantry units DR89100-89115 (carried on wagons DB979600-979615 but able to traverse the whole train) and control cabins DR89200-89215 (mounted on wagons DB979500-979515). The YEV code was applied to BEV Bogie Bolsters modified to carry long-welded rail. Dates of conversion and operation are unknown but the use of design code YE003A suggests that these came after the first LWRTs. Finally, the YEA code was also applied on paper to rail wagons owned by London Underground but registered to work on the national rail network. These retained their LUL numbers.
In 1986 it was planned to renumber the Clamping wagons within each LWRT so that the last digits matched up with the other components. The scheme involved the reissue of several stock numbers and things became decidely complicated when the plan was not fully carried out. The table below lists the planned and actual numbers for affected wagons. In 2000, three spare stabling wagons were renumbered as intermediate wagons, while one intermediate wagon became a clamping wagon in about 2005.
Having been replaced by new equipment, 20 stored YEAs were modified in 2007 as steel wagons coded BQA and given RIV numbers in the 81-70-4842-001 to 020 series.
