By Phillip Clarke.
Jumbo container wagons were built
with a lowered deck height to handle TNT container Traffic, and came from three
sources, NSW, Victoria, and Australian National. All wagons had straight sides
as in regular wagons except for 22001 22032 range which had bowed Wide body
ends.
In 1987 NSW hired 30 VQDW wagons
and they were recoded NQMW in the 60050 60079 range. Various changes have
been made over the years and are beyond the brief scope of this summary, ie
shunters steps removed, bogie type changed, etc.
In 1994/95 most of these wagons
went in to NRC ownership and ended up with various codes, see following pages
for crossmatching of codes; codes which
are highlighted are recent sightings.
In November Aus_rollingstock Group
lists, it appears that Freight Australia have aquired at least six of these
wagons for their use and are
partially repainted in the FA
green, (RQPWs, 60064 , 60069 , 60074;
RQJWs 22042 , 22072 ,)(Christopher Jones sightings VQDWs 9 ,19 ,54 );
