The British Oxygen Co. ran a fleet of 27 cryogenic tank wagons which carried a range of compressed and refrigerated gases from Middlesborough and Widnes. Constructed in 1970 they ran until the late 1990s and could be found in small numbers at many industrial locations and wagon load yards where they were unloaded directly into road delivery vehicles. The fleet could be used for either nitrogen or oxygen and ran on a mix of Gloucester cast or GPS bogies. |
