Russ didn't seem to make this clear, but you shouldn't be moving crushed glass in happers until after glass recycling got to large enough volumes, way out of the era of this list. I can tell you

Posted by: "George" I remember running upon a NKP hopper in southwest Virginia on a N&W branch back in the nineteen seventies. This was following the merger of the two roads. Kinda limits us

Rich; Thanks for confirming that. Do you know what specific ores or minerals they got at that site? You are right about Westinghouse. They did get shipments, but I don't know if you knew

Not steam era but to show the sue of hopper cars..... The bottle producing plant next to the Coors brewery in Golden CO gets about 6 hopper cars of "cullet" a week. Don't know where it comes from but

I'm suprised that no one has mentioned construction aggregates (sand, stone and gravel) as one of the major uses of hopper cars. The Norflok Southern had a large hopper fleet, and its main use

Posted by: "Ljack70117@..." When I was on the RRs the only Bauxite I ever saw was loaded in Box cars. Thank you Larry Jackman ============== On the NYC we moved a lot of bauxite

Elden: Yes, that was the site.? It was in Large, PA.? At the time I was there, the tracks ended not much farther up the creek.? There was a Westinghouse facility on Rt. 51 in Large behind the Eat n

Ed and friends, It is beyond our time period, but when I first moved to Virginia in 1982, NKP triple hoppers were very common in N&W trains. I photographed several, and saw many more. They were in

I don't know about the 1940s, but I remember seeing a photo article in Popular Science sometime in the early 1950s depicting a cullet plant, in California I believe, showing how the stuff was

Dave (and others interested); Yeah, I think it was a bunch of discussion generated here, on the PRR list, and perhaps here as well. I put some of it in the materials I have been presenting in

A 17-page review of railroad trucks was also published in Railway Prototype Cyclopedia, Volume 4. List member Richard H. Hendrickson authored this fine review, which also featured 50 images. RPC #4

Mike; Although they were pretty rare, I remember seeing more than one SP offset side triple, on the PRR, and like that DRGW car, they seemed to hang around for a bit before being routed back home.

Rich; Was that on the old Peters Creek Branch up the Mon? Just north of Clairton? Or someplace else? There was a strategic stockpile up there for a while. It was probably one of the only
