N E Gunpowder Van 71421
From the early days of the railways explosives were moved in purpose built, metal bodied, wood lined vans called 'gunpowder vans'. Open wagons are never used for this traffic, for fairly obvious reasons. The RCH rules covered the design of these vans, which were always clearly marked and often distinguished by body colour (the Midland Railway painted them bright red). Nineteenth century vans were often of unusual design, some featured semi-circular roofs and some had doors on only one side.
