Summary
| Description |
English: Shunters worked with engine drivers to get wagons in the right order so that trains could leave the goods yard. The work of a Shunter in the Good Yard could be dangerous – shunters could be knocked over by wagons or crushed between the buffers of wagons.
Shunters’ Trucks enabled shunters to ride safely around larger goods yards. The wheels are covered which stopped clothing and equipment getting caught in the wheels. The large locker which you can see at the top of the truck is where tools and spare shunting poles were stored. Shunters’ trucks were unique to the GWR and this particular one was built in Swindon Works in 1914.
