—<br />

Private owners' mineral<br />

wagons with<br />

bolted or unbolted<br />

springs, may, when<br />

loaded with goods<br />

traffic, travel at an<br />

average speed of 30<br />

miles per hour, provided<br />

that the<br />

trucks are in other<br />

respects suitable<br />

and that the load is<br />

well distributed.<br />

iWhen, however, such<br />

I wagons (in conjunction<br />

with an underrunner)<br />

convey<br />

loads which overhang<br />

the carrying<br />

wagon by 4 feet or<br />

more, they must not<br />

exceed an average<br />

speed of 25 miles<br />

per hour.<br />

(G. 28537).<br />

Foreign Railway Companies' or Private Owners' stock, when<br />

attached to trains booked to average speeds of over 30<br />

M.P.H., must conform to Coaching Stock requirements<br />

(page 147), except that wagons otherwise in order may<br />

have grease axle-boxes.<br />

t These vehicles may be attached to passenger trains only when loaded as specified for<br />

trains booked at over 45 M.P.H.<br />
