This rare Winona Freight Wagon—stretching over 16 feet in length—is a remarkable example of heavy-hauling design built for rugged mountain terrain. Engineered for strength and endurance, it features an extra-high seat and footboard that positioned the driver to manage a hitch of six to eight mules through steep and winding trails. The long brake handle and oversized brake blocks are signature components, ideal for controlling heavy loads on mountain grades.
Distinct details include the horn and bumper mounted on the rear axle, used for pulling an additional freight wagon in tandem, and the stenciled markings on the axle reading Winona Wagon Co., 3½ W, denoting a 3½-inch journal and wide track. The iron-clad hubs add durability by reinforcing the wooden hub with iron—a hallmark of Winona’s quality craftsmanship.
With a carrying capacity of approximately 6,000 pounds, this wagon was truly built for demanding freight service. It will be sold complete with an original matching seat and heavy brake blocks (currently missing in the photos).

Q&A
Question: How do you ship this vehicle to me?
Answer: We coordinate shipments of large freight items - such as our wagons, carriages, and coaches - within a network of private carriers so that your freight is safely transported to your destination without transfer. These are usually coordinated as partial loads in order to save costs, so it can take anywhere between 2 days to 2 weeks to find a ride. They will be transported in enclosed vans that vary from "U-Haul" size box vans to full 53' semi trailers. Contact us for more information and freight quotes. You may also arrange your own shipping through uship.com.
Question: How do I offload this vehicle at delivery?
Answer: If you have a delivery location with a loading dock available this is your best option. However, we can also deliver to any location that a semi-trailer can access. We then recommend coordination with a towing service to use a tilt-bed wrecker truck. The vehicle can be rolled off the trailer on to the bed of the wrecker truck and it will be tilted/lowered down to the ground from there.
