WAGON

A 'wagon' (in British English, sometimes 'waggon') or 'dray' is a wooden cart usually pulled by an animal, or animals, such as horses, mules or oxen and used for transportation of people or goods. Wagons usually have four wheels, and were used during the California Gold Rush.
Sometimes, the word is also used for railroad cars (not motorized, for goods or passengers), and it's a part / the usual short form of station wagon, the non-British term for a sedan (saloon) with an extended rear cargo area. Other names: estate (car) / shooting brake (UK), break (F), station sedan (Aus), Kombi (generally in German language, in English also varied to combi), Variant (VW models), Caravan (GM's Opel models), Avant (Audi's wagons).
