RE: RhB Cement tanker

Wich is the best railway in the world – image 25

This is "Cement tanker".These wagons, known as "Mohrenköpfe" (german word) because of their resemblance to the cake of that name, were built in the late 50s for the heavy traffic from the BCU cement works at Untervaz. The RhB has around 100 cement tankers of various types in service.Want to know more about RhB Railway : http://www.rhb.chAl_cff
