Windcutter[edit]

Sorry, but it is completely incorrect to describe ordinary 10 ton wagons as Windcutters. The term was introduced by BR to sell the introduction of unfitted mineral trains between Annesley and Woodford Halse at unprecedented speeds, using 9Fs. The name refers to the trains, not the wagons. It was chosen because unlike the normal slow progress of these trains, giving them a clear run down the Great Central with a more powerful and faster engine, they could 'cut the wind'. South of Kettering, the parallel route to London down the Midland had separate slow lines with permissive block, on the assumption that its coal trains did not cut the wind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Browne-Windsor (talk • contribs) 22:30, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
