N&WHC-3 covered hoppers

[NW Mailing List]

Kurt,
  I have tried searching silica, silicone dioxide and sand on the web and found several companies in Ohio which mine silica but none seem to have an apparent connection to St. Bernard, Norwood or Cincinnati.  There where a bunch of mergers mentioned but still no clue who it was in 1953.  The deposit of silica may have been in a different area with the refining process being done in the Cincinnati area.  N&W cars shipped tended to have the origin "St. Bernard" while B&O cars had "Norwood" but these are next to each other and suburbs of Cincinnati.

  Try looking for sand which is silicone dioxide or silica.

    Matt,
    Thanks for the help, I have been searching the internet and have found 
    nothing connecting St. Bernard, OH to silica. I have found that some of the 
    cars shipped, B&O, originated from Norwood, OH which is close to St. 
    Bernard but web searches have turned nothing on that location either. Let 
    me know what you find.
