About Ulm-type stake wagons

Stake wagons of the Ulm type belong to a group of versatile freight wagons designed for transporting long loads. The stake construction allowed safe transport of timber, steel profiles, pipes and other long materials.

Such wagons were widely used across Europe during the second half of the 20th century and were frequently seen in freight trains serving the timber, steel and construction industries. Their simple and functional design allowed them to remain in service for many years.
