BC&G hoppers
|
Larry Smith
I was refered to a site that contained a lot of photos of one of my
favorite railroads, the Buffalo Creek and Gauley. In one of the photos, taken at the Widon tipple in 1925 that the BC&G had two types of hoppers. The 1000 series is definitly Gla style while the 1700 series looks like a USRA clone. First does anyone have a 1925 ORER and can look up how many cars were in the 1700 series and what is the data on them, or better yet, does anyone have any info on these cars. Larry Smith |

They were actually nominal clones of the B&O N-12, at 30-ft il; 9'5-1/2" iw; 10'6" eh; 1817 cf. They went to B&O before 1948 as 20500-20799. What's the address for the web site? David Thompson |
