While I was walking around in George I saw these two freight cars in the old depot.
If you find the security guard on the first picture - Okay. He came to me and wanted to know what I do there.
I told him that I was from Germany and only take pictures.
Then he walked around with me and gave me some safety.

Hi Andreas,
The first type of wagon were usually used to transport bulldozers as part of a breakdown train. These bulldozers were normally fitted with forks and a winch to enable them to clear wagons from an accident scene
