GeTA Sulfur - Raw sulfur ore wagon

The GeTA Sulfur railway (Geo-thermal Tranz Alpine) is primarily used for freight, connecting the various sulfur mines of the Darby County alps. These ore wagons are used for transporting raw sulfur ore.

These more compact ore wagons replaced the larger gondolas used by the railway during the steam era.

Sulfur is transferred in both it's raw ore form, as well as refined liquid stored in tanks.
These wagons are mainly filled at the Hope Fault mine, which digs up raw sulfur from an exposed fault line (the Hope Fault) and uses overhead conveyors to load ore wagons with sulfur.

Once transported down from the Hope Fault mine, these wagons are stored in the Oatery yard before being sorted into long-haul freight trains to leave the county for export.
