Transporter wagon[edit]

How were wide gauge wagons loaded onto the narrow gauge Transporter wagons?

one at a time?

using a crane?

using a ramp?

could you load several transporter waggons in a row?

I know it's a long time since these questions were asked, this video has since been uploaded to youtube which may answer them. This is of the Leek & Manifold Valley Light Railway in Staffordshire, also engineered by ER Calthrop.

Did the Barsi Railway use transporter wagons? There's no mention of them in the article.

Shipping Containers[edit]

If the Calthrop system had been more widely used, modern ISO shipping containers might be 7 feet wide instead of 8 feet wide. Tabletop (talk) 08:34, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
