JX cement hoppers
|
The JX's carried bulk cement, mainly from Waurn Ponds near Geelong, to many locations around the state. An air supply was required to unload them as they were not gravity discharge. In the mid 80's they were used to carry cement to NSW for the building on the new parliament house in Canberra, in this service they ran in blocks of about 15 - 30 wagons.
The last 50 (109 - 158) were built as VPCX |
