NQOY,
NQPY, NQOF, RQBY 63' CONTAINER FLAT WAGON
Commencing in the mid-80s the SRA
started to recode some NQOYs to NQOF and NQPY. These wagons had their
2CM bogies replaced with 3 piece roller bearing types and were used for
Intrastate loading.
During the early 1990s further
modifications were undertaken, tare weight reduction with sections of
steel deck sheeting and the equipment boxes removed and the container
locks were upgraded to marine type twist locks. These wagons were
recoded NQSY and NQBY and later migrated into the NRC fleet in 1995,
they were again recoded to RQSY and RQBY.
With the formation of Pacific National in 2002 all NRC and FreightCorp
wagons were pooled together with the FC wagons retaining their N coding
prefix.
