Narrow Gauge Open Freight Car

This freight car (hwacha) is an uncovered wagon built in the United States for use on narrow-gauge railway lines, to transport railway freight. It was mainly used to carry coal, minerals and similar goods on the narrower-than-standard-gauge Suin Line (Suwon–Songdo, Incheon) and Suyeo Line (Suwon–Yeoju), and was also used to transport salt produced in the Sorae area. Narrow-gauge operation ceased in 1995 when the Suin Line was discontinued, and the car is no longer in use.
