Re: Photo: Pickle Car - further question

Thank you very much for these excellent photos.  I originated this “- further question” thread, and I’ve been hoping to see pickle cars that might have operated on lines in Upstate NY  at all, and preferably into the +/- 1950 time frame.

 

These seem to be built in the early 20s. but might have operated for several decades.

Here is a view more photos. I thought I had a Heinze one but can't find it now.

Correction. The Heinz cars were tubs, but this photo shows they may have been enclosed.

 

 

Thanks!

My original follow-on question to the photo that started this thread was intended to suggest some other users of the circular tub variety of pickle cars that would have been seen in the northeast, PA, NY, and neighboring states..  I was, perhaps, a little to elliptical in my rather vague question.  Any suggestions now that I’m being more specific?

Eric: do you have David J. Leider’s “Pickle and Vinegar Makers of the Midwest”? I don’t think it applies directly to your situation, but it has lots of info on plant layouts, photos of plants, cars, etc.

 

I’ll lend you my copy if you like.

 

 

Thanks!

David,

 

I'll have three pickle and food production plants to serve on my future layout with HJ Heinz, Lutz & Schramm, and Cruikshank Brothers. Have you stumbled across details for cars that transported pickles from the field plants to Lutz & Schramm and Cruikshank Brothers in Pittsburgh, Penna.?

Sguire-Dingee was a Chicago company, but had salting stations all over the midwest as w3ell as subsidaries in other parts of the US. Pickle cars of this type were used all over to pick up salted pickles for further processing
