Have you ever wondered how much freight fits into one railway wagon? What kind of products are being transported in each of those (quite different) railway wagons? Do you have an idea why they are technically so different and why do they look the way they do?
If you ever looked at some passing train and thought about these questions, you are on the right place (on the right track :) ), as the topic of today's Railways Explained' video is freight railway wagons.
As you’ll see during the video, it is practically impossible to uniformly talk about the railway wagons from around the world, as their types, marking and codification, differ significantly from region to region.
However, regardless of where you are, the technical solutions of these vehicles are similar enough as well as the logic behind marking and codification. Of course, as we are from Europe, we will stick to the European codification and system of marking.
We started this video with the definition of freight wagons and the troubles with marking and codification, and then we talked about each series of freight wagons, one by one. In detail.
Enjoy!

Correction on North American letter codes, they identify the owner of the railcar, and can be two, three, or four letters. If four letters in length and the final letter is "X" then the owner is not a railway company.
Probably the best video about wagons on CZcams.
Thanks
Weird loud white noise at 1:31
I don't know what's gotten into me, suddenly im into trains.
But it helps when the CZcamsr has a passion for the subject.
5:12 that is the railroad reporting mark not a wagon class code NS is Norfolk southern
Very cool information, like always clearly and succintly explained. I live a few blocks from the railway tracks in my hometown (Central Mexico) and I like to pay attention to the different wagons that are being transported. It makes me think about how trains are vital for a lot of industries and for the economy, in general.
Additionally, in North American practice (i.e. Canada, US and Mexico), reporting marks can have up to four digits. Non-railroad ownership is designated by the final letter being an 'X'.
Nice video and information. Because you mentioned car/auto carrier and Ro-La, next please make a video about why there is open and covered auto carrier and Ro-La Explanation.
How are freight wagons scheduled for maintenance? Perhaps a subject for a future video? 😊
They only need to go for maintence once in few years - typically 4-6 with now prolonged to even more. So when revision is about to expire, they are being reported and should be sent to revision. Between that they have no maintence unless something brakes. And thing brake often.
@@alexejvornoskov6580 i know its a minor spelling mistake but, break.
For those interested, the channel Practical Engineering has a similar version of this video focusing on US rail.
@Railways Explained. Of course I posted a similar comment there directing people to this video :)
Thank you some much for the content ! Could you do a video on the loading gauge ?
Dd wonder about this one, so when I saw this mentioned I immediatly started watching it. Very interesting video!
6:53 GE Rail Services Hi(i)rrs wagons.
Produced by: Waggonbau Niesky (1998)
Over more than 300 of these are produced, since GE is gone, Touax is succescorr to GE, but 70% are acquired by Transwaggon.
Spme of them have been rented to Slovenian railways (SŽ) for Paloma toičet papers, and Austrian railways (OBB). Some of them are rented to Lineas.
These are my favorite boxcars than any else. Still i'm trying to find where the Touax ones are running since they are on my 'photography' target. 🎯
Thanks for the video. It was very informative. Good and easy to understand information on rail freight operations is a lot less avaliable than that of passenger operations on the internet
Thank you for the detailed video. I finally know what ´Eaos´ means and that all those weird names are actually code letter with difference meanings and functions of the wagons.
Interesting topic, nicely covered... 👌
Thank you
Very rewarding video. In Russian universities, these topics are taught using old English textbooks. I would like to see a video on the topic: "Systems for monitoring the condition of the rolling stock on the move of the train." It would be great!👍
A very interesting programme, REALLY ENJOYED IT . THANK'S. ☺☺☺☺
It’s a very clearly explained video
I’d never remember all those classifications though
European classification system - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UIC_classification_of_goods_wagons
Because to carry lot of freight requires a lot of waggons to put it all in
Lots of information I didn't know I didn't know! Reading out the letter classifications sounded like the two Ronnies' F.U.N.E.X. sketch.
Here in "Muurica" we have AAR reporting marks/labels. Could you do a video about the development of the coupling systems in use in the world.? Of especial interest to me is why the EU holds on to the antique chain hook coupler system and couplers for high speed trains.😎
As far as I know the main reason most European countries (not just the EU) retain buffers and chain couplings is because it is very difficult to chain something like that across 30 or so countries simultaneously. There's a lot of rolling stock in service that would have to be altered or just phased out. The EU didn't exist at the time America changed couplers (in the 19th century I believe) so you can't make a direct comparison. Also, I think I'm right in saying that America used to use link and pin couplers rather than buffers and chain. Broadly speaking buffers and chain work just fine so I'd imagine there was just less incentive to change things. There are automatic couplers being developed now though, and almost all new passenger rolling stock uses automatic couplers too.
Thanks for a very clear and educational video. I learnt things totally new and interesting.
Glad to hear that
I suggest to you make a video about coach classification. 🤔
7:41 3 out of 4 transport same things in different amounts, 4th does transport cars.😂
14:33 Some S waggons are 120 kmh rated which are Sggmrrss Sggmrss. Hccrrs or Laaerprs Covered Autorack and can run a Motorail train like the Villach Edirne Uacns Cement transport 58t max load. Learnt these designations from Train Sim World. Does anyone know what is the meaning of Roos-t
Finally I know what Hbbins, Eanoo, etc means! Thank you! 😁
Very cool video, now I can see what’s inside of the wagons and Know the types!
Do I remember correctly, that Japan only has like 5 types?
It has more, but nowadays mostly container flatcars and tankers are in use.
カ (ka) - cattle car
キ (ki) - snow plow (no propulsion)
コ (ko) - container flatcar (or intermodal)
く(ku) - car transporter
せ (se) - coal hopper (only for coal)
シ (shi) - special car (for oversize loads)
ソ (so) - crane (no propulsion? Unused?)
タ (ta) - tanker car
チ (chi) - regular flatcar
ト (to) - gondola
ホ (ho) - hopper
ヨ (yo) - caboose
レ (re) - reefer
ワ (wa) - boxcar
ヲ (wo) - hopper (I can't tell the difference between "ho" and "wo" hoppers)
@@jacekhozejowski2869 ok thank you very much
I like to watch the waggons roll by
You missed my favorite wagon, the Torpedo wagon.
8:31 isolating or insulating
How are those called, that transport liquid, hot iron?
Good video. 💪🏼
Thank you!
14:04 Romanian stuff there 🇷🇴😁 LEMA 010 locomotive from DB Cargo Romania
Do asphalt cars that need to be sand blasted
1:33 rip headphone users
Thx. 👍🏾😎
was going to hit like, but, likes were at 666, the number of the beast, so best left well alone !
Thank u
What about the people's wagon?
Very interesting topic you found here. I learned a lot today. Thank you guys!
Glad to hear that 🙂
Those are all for transporting automobiles
Idk
Spoiler: Because theres lots of different types of freight. I watched it anyway just to look at the trains.
Are you swiss guys?
Nope. We're Serbs
@@RailwaysExplained , India support one Serbia, not Kosovo.
As an American, it's strange to see wagons with only two axles (or six, for that matter); we stopped using them almost 150 years ago. We also have none with fabric covers.
well therefore the axle weight in europe is mostly lower than in america you gotta need more than 4 axles. some freights don't need a big car for transport, so 2 axle cars are still common
Your comment section is getting spammed by bots again.
Reporting it is far more effective than commenting and adding noise.
@@hrford I've given up on reporting. CZcams doesn't seem to care, they never take action. So instead I let the uploader know as they can delete comments as well.
You know he’s only talking about European rail cars when the holy grail of intermodal rail cars isn’t mentioned… seriously. Do y’all not have any well cars?
so you have ads running and ads in your video as well, talking about never enough
Way too much spam in the comment section
