What is a bolster wagon?
A bolster wagon is a railway wagon designed to carry long items such as rails or posts.
In appearance, bolster wagons look very similar to flatbeds and feature little more than a chassis with a large flat load bed fixed on top. The difference between the two wagons is that a bolster wagon has several supports placed periodically across the load bed to support the longitudinally carried cargo. This creates space under the load making it easier to fix chains or ropes around it to facilitate loading and unloading.
Some bolster wagons feature side supports in the form of either fixed or removable vertical posts that are placed at regular intervals along the length of the wagon.
Bolster wagons are infrequently used to transport revenue-earning freight, but they are a common sight on engineering trains used to carry the materials needed to maintain or replace railway infrastructure.
