Hi
Just got back from an afternoons photting at Worlaby (West of Barnetby), while there, a Freightliner 66 passed with a train of standard Freighliner coal wagons like these heading towards Scunthorpe (so probably loaded). Strangely, water, or at least a liquid of some sort, was leaking - quite quickly, from the small gap between the hopper doors at the bottom of EVERY wagon, the liquid was spraying all over the place, and left a clearly visible strip of 'wetness' along the track as far as I was able to see.
I have no idea why liquid would be leaking from the bottom of a coal wagon, and certainly haven't seen it before...!
Can anyone shed any light?
EDIT: Here is a video, you can see the liquid if you look closely, you will also notice it sprays onto my camera!

NB: It was not raining
Cheers
