Unfitted
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006347
Describing a railway wagon or train that is not equipped with continuous braking systems, relying instead on handbrakes or the locomotive's independent brake. Such wagons require manual braking by shunters or guards. Unfitted trains are generally restricted to lower speeds and are less common in modern railway operations due to safety concerns.
