Wagon

A wagon (in British English, sometimes spelt waggon) is a heavy four-wheeled vehicle pulled by draught animals; it was formerly often called a wain, and if low and sideless may called a dray, trolley or float.

Wagons are pulled by animals such as horses, mules or oxen, and are used for transporting goods, agricultural materials or sometimes people. Wagons are distinguished from carts, which have two wheels, and from lighter four-wheeled vehicles for carrying people, such as carriages. A wagon may be pulled by one animal or by several, often in pairs.
