Details

The OCA wagons were introduced at the start of the 1980s, becoming British Rail’s final standard design for a general purpose open wagon with wide, low sides made up of three hinged sections etc. to allow all manner of cargo to be loaded and unloaded. Introduced at a time when general merchandise traffic was in decline, the type was soon redeployed to other areas like departmental use, or rebuilt as timber carriers becoming OTAs.
