To add. The reporting marks change to AQCX at some
point. Both marks are connected to Aluminum Ore Company, a subsidiary of
ALCOA.

From: main@RealSTMFC.groups.io [mailto:main@RealSTMFC.groups.io] On Behalf Of Steve and Barb Hile Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2019 7:17 PM To: main@RealSTMFC.groups.io Subject: [RealSTMFC] Alcoa Covered Hoppers In the late 1930's
Pullman Standard built 85 interesting large covered hopper cars for Aluminum
Corporation of America, AOCX 1200-1284, for alumina loading. These large
cars had 10 bottom hoppers (5 on each side of the center sill) and 6 rectangular
hatches on the roof.
Has anyone seen a
photo of one of these cars? Source? On-line?
They appear to be
big, like a carbon black car.
Thanks in advance
for any assistance.
