Hi Marty,



I am not sure if this graph will come through on group mail but I'll
give it a try. It represents the carload deliveries to Rochester Metal
Works, a small foundry, in Rochester Indiana in 1954. As far as car
types generally coke in HM, Pig Iron in GB. The table shows reporting
marks for products for more detailed evaluations (PI= Pig Iron). David

Subject: [STMFC] casting foundry freight cars



One of the industries in Waterbury, Vt., on the CV was the Cooley-Wright
Manufacturing Co. which was a casting foundry. I know they would have
received foundry sand from and iron ingots. I can see the two tracks
into the facility (it was originally a granite cutting shed) but can't
see any freight cars in the photos I have.

Anyone have any details on what kinds of cars would have delivered
materials to a small casting shop in the late steam (1950-54) era? Or
some specifics on where that stuff would have come from (so I can figure
out some appropriate freight cars, or at least close enough until more
details become available.

Thanks in advance,

Marty McGuirk
