SAR Class SC-1 (Side B) (Type 2)         
Class SC-1 (SCL-1, SCLV-1, SCL-10, SCL-11) wagons entered service in 1972 as open top double deck motor car transporter wagons. Most were rebuilt to enclosed wagons some time after 1991. The upper deck appears to be height adjustable to accommodate higher than normal vehicles like minibuses and pickup trucks. Type 2 wagons are enclosed and this one has even had the expanded metal sides covered over to improve cargo protection.
