NHPH and NHIH Explained

During 2013, some 200 NHPH coal hopper were taken to Bradken Mittagong (in rakes of 40), where components were removed, bogies removed, and the chassis were taken away for cutting up.

 

All bogies were overhauled and taken to Newcastle to be mated up with 200 new NHIH coal hopper bodies from Bradken China.

 

NHPH 90231 awaiting its fate.
