The GH class high-sided open wagons were used quite extensively for grain traffic and it was decided to fit roofs to some of these wagons in 1974. This conversion was similar to that which created the RCH class from the RCW's. Ten GH class wagons were involved (18440, 18448, 18469, 18495, 18515, 18542, 18628, 18646, 18648, 18672). Some seem to have retained the side doors but not others. They were written off as follows: | |
1977 | 18648 |
1979 | 18515 |
1985 | 18628 |
1987 | 18469, 18646 |
1990 | 18440, 18448, 18495, 18542, 18672 |
