Dandy Waggons
The dandy wagon (or 'Dandy cart') was a type of carriage for carrying horses, usually used on the down-hill sections of horse-drawn railways and waggonways. George Stephenson is credited for having proposed the idea for dandy wagons, building these carriages for the horses, for use on the Stockton & Darlington Railway, which opened in 1825.[1]
