History

Finished in the bright yellow livery of supplier Wascosa, wagon No. 70 5932 170-0 is part of the Network Rail infrastructure fleet.

Classed as a ‘JNA’ type, it runs on track-friendly TF25 bogies. Wagon-leasing company Wascosa supplied many Romanian-built bogie box wagons on a ten-year Network Rail contract signed in 2019, with deliveries commencing in 2022. The contract was won in partnership with GBRf which has a long-term contract for hauling Network Rail infrastructure trains.

The wagons are used for carrying infrastructure materials such as ballast and other aggregates and are also suitable for carrying scrap metal and other materials. The wagons were built at the AstraRail plant in Arad, Romania and were delivered to the UK via the Channel Tunnel.
