Historical details
The GTUW coal wagon was designed in 1938 by Werkspoor in a collaboration with NS for the transportation of rubble stone. It was constructed out of steel and had four doors on each side, as opposed to the older wooden wagons with only two, which in return greatly shortened the unloading time. Due to their higher walls, these steel wagons could also hold 20 tonnes more than the old wooden wagons.
Over 5000 wagons would be produced with various design differences (such as the GTU, GTUK, GTM, GTO & GTOW). The GSDW covered wagons were converted out of existing wagons starting 1959. 4 hatches got added on the roof, with 2 on each side. Only 1 could open on each side at once, because it slid open over the other hatch, blocking it from being used. None are preserved.
