Braithwaite & Co flags off new BLSS wagons (spine cars)

In its Clive (Kolkata) Works, Braithwaite & Co (BCL) planned, developed, and manufactured the new BLSS Wagons (Spine Cars). The new BLSS Wagons (Spine Cars) are specialised 25T axle load flat cars designed to transport intermodal containers and trailers. They are designed to transport all types of containers, providing greater transportation options. The BLSS Wagon design is lean, with a sturdy and lighter frame. As a result, the rake's carrying capacity would improve by 7.4%, making it more commercially advantageous.
