H-11 (?) hoppers

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

What ever happened to the 85-ton hoppers (H-11's ?) N&W constructed  with
weathering steel ?  The steel used (called Cor-ten) was to avoid  painting
the cars, yet the cars were stenciled.  Following a hard  coupling,  portions
of the car's identification would flake off and fall to the ground.
