KAB bulkhead flat wagons
ABOVE: KAB circa 1964

These wagons had a fixed bulkhead at the non handbrake end and an adjustable bulkhead at the handbrake end, very similar to the bogie SBX class. The wagon was loaded and the bulkhead was then moved up against the load and secured. Traffic was for pineboard from the Eastern district to Melbourne.
This class was converted from long T and U van underframes. I believe all KAB's had wheel handbrakes. |
