DW domestic water wagons
ABOVE: DW 230 at Woodend, 1979
|
Converted from I/IA's this class carried potable water in departmental service to remote country locations that did not have a water service. Water for general use (including watering steam locos etc) was carried in WT's.
All the DW's I photographed had the discharge valve at the non handbrake end. |
