essay about goods train

Answer 1

GOODS WAGON OR FREIGHT WAGONS ARE UNPOWERED RAILWAY VEHICLES THAT ARE USED FOR  THE TRANSPORTATION OF CARGO. A VARIETY OF WAGON TYPES ARE IN USE TO HANDLE DIFFERENT TYPES OF GOODS, BUT ALL WAGONS IN A REGIONAL NETWORK TYPICALLY HAVE STANDARDIZED COUPLERS AND OTHER FITTINGS, SUCH AS HOSES FOR AIR BRAKES, ALLOWING DIFFERENT WAGON TYPES TO BE ASSEMBLED INTO TRAINS. FOR TRACKING AND IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES, GOODS WAGONS ARE GENERALLY ASSIGNED A UNIQUE IDENTIFIER, TYPICALLY A UIC WAGON NUMBER, OR IN NORTH AMERICA, A COMPANY REPORTING SPECIFIC SERIAL NUMBER.
