A '''wagon''' (in [[British English]], sometimes '''waggon''') or '''dray''' is a heavy four-wheeled [[vehicle]]. Wagons were formerly pulled by animals such as [[horse|horses]], [[mule|mules]] or [[ox|oxen]]. Today farm wagons are pulled by tractors and trucks. Wagons are used for [[transportation]] of people or [[good (accounting)|goods]]. Wagons are distinguished from [[cart]]s (which have two wheels), and from lighter four-wheeled vehicles such as [[carriage]]s. A wagon could be pulled by one animal or by several, often in pairs.
Sometimes, the word ''wagon'' is also used for [[railroad car]]s (not motorized, for goods or passengers), and the word is 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|German]], in [[English language|English]] also varied to combi), Variant ([[Volkswagen|VW]] models), Caravan ([[General Motors|GM]]'s [[Opel]] models), Avant ([[Audi]]'s wagons), Touring ([[BMW]]'s wagons).
