freight wagon
Goods transport vehicle
A freight wagon is a large, heavy-duty wagon designed to haul goods and supplies overland.
Before railroads and motor vehicles, freight wagons were essential for commerce and westward expansion, carrying everything from dry goods to mining equipment: A team of oxen pulled the freight wagon up the mountain pass.
The term distinguishes working cargo wagons from passenger vehicles like stagecoaches.
