Murtoa grain hoppers

Some grain hoppers stored at Murtoa, Victoria.

VHHF 881S

The two rows included some VHHF grain hoppers. These were built between 1982 and 1984, with  one hundred and fifteen being constructed. They are about 24"/60cm longer and were numbered from 801 to 915. The first three wagons were issued to service in July 1982 as 401, 412 and 414, but by August 1982 the wagons were renumbered to 801, 812 and 814. All wagons issued after this date were numbered from 800.

Shows increased length in body and walkways.
