German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Agreement on the lease of train carriages | | German term or phrase: AVV (Allgemeiner Vertrag für die Verwendung von Güterwagen) | At a guess I would translate this as a "General Agreement for the use of goods wagons". Does anybody have a better or official translation? I have been unable to find one online.

Perhaps "freight wagons" rather than "goods wagons"?

Asker: Thanks. I wonder if General Contract of Use for Goods Wagons would be the best compromise?
