Class WSP Ballast ploughs

WSP 30614 K.Raynes (RHWA collection)

In 1965 the WAGR acquired 2 flat top wagons for conversion to ploughs from Commonwealth Railways as part of a job lot of 64 wagons. These had been G268 and TD499. They were numbered WSP 30613 and 30614. They were intended to have a 10 year life.

WSP 30614 was converted to WSD in 1974 whilst 30613 was written off in the same year.
