(erielack) Steamtown Images - June 19, 2019 - HCCX

Richard Brennan
 

Another 'find' in the NPS Steamtown photo archives...
A barge full of Hercules Portland Cement covered hoppers... circa-1930;
featuring a number of early 4-bay cement hoppers in the HCCX-10xx series.

When was the last time you saw a 4-bay LO with WOODEN running boards????
