ELX open wagon
ELX 133: built new March 1968
|
A modern version of the E open wagon, ELX's saw service all over the state in many different types of service.Early ELX's had plain sides but most were converted to corrugated sides in later years. The large number gap was because the S.A.R. built ELX's too whose numbers slotted in between the VR ELX's. More of these wagons were built but they went into service as VOCX's
ELX 1 - 92 were built as "ELF" and coded to ELX 1964 - 1965 |
