Want more car info

[NW Mailing List]

Coal pier car.

I kon’t remember which pier, but the hoppers were dumped into these pier cars which went up on an elevator and out onto the pier to dump into the ship,.  I’m certain someone else can supply more information.

I found this picture looking for photos of cabs.  I would like to know more about this car and it’s function.
