RCKF Jumbo Coil Wagon
As demands for Jumbo
coil increased over medium size coils, more wagons capable of carrying Jumbo
coils were needed. These wagons were converted from RCSF coil wagons in 2004.
The centre medium coil cradle was retained and the rest were removed. In their
place, a cradle for carrying Jumbo coils was fitted at each end.
