In connection with the
reconstruction programmes common in the DDR, which in reality
often meant new build with only a few parts of the cannibalised
wagons being reused, this open goods wagon gave new life to an old
wagon in 1971. It was delivered from the Dresden works of Deutsche
Reichsbahn bearing the number DR 2150 555 3327-1 and taken into
goods wagon stock. Following the political upheaval in 1989 goods
traffic increasingly transferred to road and many factories ceased
production, thus this wagon became superfluous to DR requirements.
We acquired the wagon, together with the covered wagon 202 228 and
steam loco 50 3655, in 1992. It is used as a firewood store and in
goods train photo charters.
Currently (8/2020) the
car is waiting for a new main inspection. |
