Old railway waggon At the time of the Beeching closures in the 1960s as well as the axing of many railway lines and stations rolling stock was sold off. Wagons such as this one were popular with farmers, I remember my father having one delivered and the large crane which lifted it off the lorry delivering it. This particular wagon has seen batter days.
