L473
This wagon remains a bit of a mystery. It appears to be a wooden framed CW (cattle wagon) that has been converted to be used as a work van. It was used as a storage van for the Signalling department. The air tank was tested at Lithgow in 1977 and it was condemned some time after that.
It is typical of goods rollingstock in use three quarters of a century ago. It is of all timber construction and may date from the late 19th century.
