A little history:
Four-axle container wagons of the Uacs type are freight wagons designed for the transport of bulk and powdered goods.The wagons are subdivided according to the goods they carry: while Uacs-x are loaded with industrial goods, such as coal dust, Uacs-y are used to transport foodstuffs, such as soda or flour.Both types, the Uacs-x and the Uacs-y, have the same basic structure with UIC type Y 25 Cs bogies and a welded underframe.The wagons are filled via filling plugs located on the roof of the container, accessible via gangways. The wagons are emptied using a compressed air system.
