Lowmac

Lowmac is a United Kingdom railway term for a design of low-floored ('well') wagon.

[1] The term was also employed by British Railways but as an actual wagon name.

Lowmac style wagons were widely used throughout the 1890s till the 1950s when road transport was able to take their loads of machinery and vehicles.

However, some wagons were re-coded to a Z code (under the TOPS programme), and survived in Departmental use (non-revenue earning traffic) being used in engineering trains typically carrying lineside equipment such as transformers for overhead electrification works.
