Goods wagon GPV Gunpowder van NE71425

Gunpowder vans used to be a common sight on railway lines, transporting gunpowder and later other explosives for use in mines and quarries. To transport these goods safely, the GPVs were constructed of steel and had wood reinforcements. It was particularly important that no iron parts could touch each other and that non-combustible materials were used. Some GPVs were provided with a large red cross on the door to indicate the cargo's dangerousness and handling instructions on the inside.
