What this family is for
Two designs share this list. Bitumen and heavy oil are nearly solid at normal temperatures, so the body is insulated and heated until the load is pumpable and can be discharged hot.
A dump car tips to one side, to both sides, or opens along the floor. Aggregate, ore, or spoil drops in seconds, with no unloading gear at the far end. These wagons are used for construction and track work, where the material has to land beside the rails.
