The Open Wagon is a Railroad Vehicle.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

A cargo wagon designed to be towed by a railroad locomotive.

  • The vehicle is designed to operate on rail networks. The gauge (the distance between the inner faces of the two rails) for railroad networks within the Distant Fringe is generally 1.5 meters (though some worlds use their own system) and most examples of the wagon are built to match that standard.
  • It is an infrastructure element.
