In Message #123512 Elden Gatwood listed the commodities
hauled in Pennsylvania’s
H32 covered hoppers and noted these car were seen outside of PRR’s territory. I
assume the same commodity list applied to their H30 covered hoppers.
My question is, which commodities in the territory served by
the Pennsylvania Railroad would have been commercially unique enough to
merit shipment in their H30 covered hoppers from the PRR’s territory to the Southwest United States?
