freight wagons
Goods-carrying rail vehicles
Freight wagons are large, heavy vehicles designed to transport goods overland, historically pulled by horses, mules, or oxen.
Before railroads dominated transportation, freight wagons like the Conestoga carried supplies across long distances: Freight wagons rolled westward loaded with provisions.
The term now applies mainly to railway cars designed for cargo rather than passengers.
