QR drop side open wagon

In later years the QR's were relegated to departmental service after a long life as general service open wagons. In departmental service they often carried sleepers and dirt. In sleeper unloading service the doors were dropped and the sleepers manually thrown out of the wagon.They saw occasional service in revenue traffic when wagon supply was short as shown in the above photo.
