Carriage trucks were used to transport buggies and horse drawn carriages owned by the travelling passengers. Whilst no data has been assembled, this transport would no doubt have operated in conjuction with horse box vans. This combination would have required some prior organisation and would have been restricted to those passengers that could afford the luxury.
From photographs, the trucks seem to have been placed at major locations and were ready for use. Most were probably fitted with lashing rings to secure loading and some are mentioned as having rigging for tarpaulin covering. Apart from passenger traffic, some use would have been for the transfer of horse drawn vehicles and wheeled machinery.
They were four wheeled wagons built between 1858 and 1900 and were numbered 1 - 59. Numbers 60 and 61 were built in 1915 with six wheels. By 1925 all have been removed from service except for 60 and 61.
In 1937 with the start of bulk wheat transport, the letter G was designated to mean "Bulk Grain". This was with the introduction of _GZ_ and _I__ wagons recoded to _G__ for grain transport. The two remaining G wagons were coded GH.
Not much is known about these wagons and what they were used for between 1937 and the 1950's.
GH 60 was scrapped in 1953. GH 61 was not traced at the 1962 Stocktake and written off in 1963.
