FJ flour wagons
|
The FJ's trace their origins back to the pulverised brown coal CK wagons. A timeline of their conversions can be found on the J wagon page. By the late 70's only 2 FJ's (8 & 9) remained in service. FJ's needed a supply of compressed air in order to discharge their contents. I only saw them at Westall, they were loaded at Albury. |
