Why is it masculine?

Vagones is masculine because it derives from the French word "wagon," which itself comes from English "wagon," and French nouns ending in "-on" are typically masculine; this gender was preserved when the word entered Spanish. Like most Romance language gender assignments for borrowed words, there's no deeper etymological rule—it's simply an exception that follows the gender pattern of the donor language.
