I spent a lot of time getting this wagon set made in 1999-2000, when I was in charge of this section. This is a set of 3 wagons, with guard cabins built on both ends, on the wagon. The wagon has a U shaped rotating bracket to hold loaded rails, when negotiating the very very sharp curves. The old set (called FR set) got condemned and I had to fight to get this made from ordinary wagons.

It is very difficult to transport civil maintenance material like bricks, sand etc., to locations along the tracks, which can be as far as 7 km from a motor-able road. Railway provides transport to contractors, from Kalka. I wonder if the work going on for collecting and moving unloaded bricks and sand, from a wagon for such purposes?
