Tank Wagon 'Pakhuismeesteren' for the transport of oil

Tank wagon ‘Pakhuismeesteren’ was built in 1929 for the ‘Pakhuismeesteren’ company in Rotterdam. It was used for the transport of vegetable oil and later for regular oil. In 1990 the wagon was donated to the MBS, the local museum railway line in Haaksbergen (https://www.museumbuurtspoorweg.nl). The wagon was restored in 1996 and regained its historic appearance, complete with brakeman's house and large signs on the boiler with the inscription "PAKHUISMEESTEREN". The MBS uses the ‘Pakhuismeesteren’ wagon as well as the ‘Zoutindustrie’ wagon for the storage and transport of feed water for their steam locomotives.

'Pakhuismeesteren' is the plural of 'pakhuismeester'. A pakhuismeester is a supervisor of a warehouse. Pakhuismeester(en) was initially exclusively the name of an activity, a profession, which later also permeated the company names of companies that were involved in that service and related trade. The company ‘Pakhuismeesteren’ was founded in 1818 and started with tea trading activities which were taken over from the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The arrival of the first petroleum in Rotterdam in 1862 was the start for ‘Pakhuismeesteren’ to intensively focus on the storage of petroleum and other petroleum products.
