SAR Class NZ (Side A) (ex DZ, Type 2)         
Class NZ wagons are various types of wagons that were either purpose built or reclassified for use in non-revenue service. Unlike this one, they are usually renumbered into the 90 number range - in fact, I suspect this one's number should actually have been 94 835 969. This is a Class DZ wagon that entered service between 1936 and 1968. It is a dropside open wagon designed to transport general goods. The type 2 wagons have channel iron outside braces on their bulkheads. This one is working in a ballast cleaning train.

Proper number range 94 800 006 to 94 808 376 and 94 820 007 to 94 999 997, Length between couplers 14.752m, Length over headstocks 13.868m, Length between bogie pivot centres 10.058m, Height 2.206m, Width 2.426m, Tare (average) 19,350kg, Load 44,000kg, Floor area 34m2, Capacity 31m3.
