Axlebox removal on coal wagon 722

After running warm yesterday, coal wagon no.722's axlebox was dismantled today to investigate. This photo is after the underkeep and pad have been removed

Spring removed

Axlebox removed, it was found the underkeep pad was dirty and not feeding oil through to the journal/bearing.
