Class WBD and WBDY Brake vans

WAGR official photo of WBD852 (RHWA collection)

The two WBD class crew vans (851 and 852 in the brake van list) were intended for interstate operation but this never really happened with ANR crews doing the long distance turns in their own vans. Only one was retained and the other was converted to inspection car WAL 951 in with the new number in the coach list. WBD 852 was reclassified WBDY in about 1980 but was written off in 1990.

Number Built Fate
851 December 1966 to WAL 951 July 1973
852 February 1967 Written off October 1990
