When was the modern 100 ton wood chip car first built? (Who built them?) At a quick glance, I don't seem to find a date. If my memory is correct, the Northern Pacific received their first order in 1967. Is this close to the beginning? Boxcab E50
Boxcab It would appear that the first Gunderson built "Hog Fuel Cars" came in 1965 based on the attached web link. Jim http://www.greatnorthernempire.net/index2.htm?GNEWoodchipCars.htm
Jim- That's a nice link! If you ever happen across similar for the Northern Pacific, I'd like to know. Thanks! Boxcab E50
