Double container wagon unit with "RockTainer ORE", a new system for moving heavy bulk cargo such as iron ore. The "RockTainer" uses the same attachment system as regular containers, but is wider and not used intermodally (it would be oversized for trucks). The advantage compared to Fals self-unloading wagons is that the "RockTainer" can be repaired or replaced separately if damaged and if there is less iron ore to move, the wagons can be used for other types of containers. The wagons weight 42 t (including the containers) and can move 86 to 138 t of cargo depending on the track class. They can use the same unloading facilities as Fals wagons.

This wagon looks different from the others, probably a prototype.
