Prototype: The Plank Wagon PO 3 was a constant companion of locomotives and railway stations that had to be constantly supplied with fuel and supplies. Bauxite is an aluminium-bearing ore that is used to produce aluminium (metallurgical bauxite), refractory products, chemicals or cement. Bauxite is an important raw material for the primary aluminium industry. It is also used in a number of non-metallurgical sectors, such as the refractory, abrasives, cement, steel and chemical industries. The large ore load of this wagon also fits on a locomotive or other wagons.
