0092 ÖBB Hw/s 20 237 two-axle flat wagon with plug-in stakes, strut frame, unbraked

Logs and timber have always been the by far most important freight carried by Austrian narrow-gauge railways. Highly specialised log carriers have therefore been used from a very early stage. Hw/s 20 237 is a flat wagon with plug-in stakes and therefore specially suited for the transport of sawn timber. The presence of stakes and a strut frame indicates that the wagon was designed primarily for the transport of stacks of sawn timber of up to three metres length. The wagon was delivered by Grazer Waggonfabrik in 1898.
