Originally built as an Iron MinkGWR telegraphic code signifying a covered goods van in 1896, 58725 was converted to an Improvised Gunpowder Van (telegraph code CONE) and loaned to the Southern Railway in 1938. Modifications included the blocking of the vents at each end. It was reconverted back to a standard goods van upon its return to the GWRGreat Western Railway in 1945. The wagon later saw service post-war with BRBritish Rail or British Railways(W) and the Longmoor Military Railway.[1] It also carried the number W204988.
58725 arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in April 1977 from Great Bridge. Evidence of its SRSouthern Railway livery was discovered during restoration in 1980. It is owned by The GWR 813 Preservation Fund and was most recently restored as a gunpowder van during 2015.
