Pipes and tubes?
Other than the length of the wagon (tube wagons are longer) the difference between a pipe and a tube is actually quite simple. A tube is a raw material, straight from the mill. A pipe is a finished product, for example fitted with end flanges ready for assembly. While tube wagons have always been used for steel traffic it is possible that pipe wagons were originally to be loaded with stoneware sewer pipes.
