70 ton 3-bay offset side hoppers first appeared in the late '20s and by the late '30s had become an AAR standard design with cars being delivered from a number of builders in large quantities to railroads across the country. The last of these cars were delivered in the mid-'60s and many remained in service through the '80s |

Click photo

Beginning in 1968, Canadian Pacific ’s 3,500 car fleet of 70 ton offset side hoppers began appearing in this CP Rail paint scheme. As a rule, the multi-mark logo was painted toward the “B” end on each side resulting in a flipped location of the road numbers and dimensional data from one side to the other. This detail is being reproduced on this run. ACI bar codes were added at the same time and con-stencils followed shortly after. The CP Rail name would last for 28 years before the company changed the name back to "Canadian Pacific." The illustration to the right shows both sides of a single car. |

Delaware Lackawanna & Western began ordering sizable fleets of these 70 ton hoppers in the late 1920s. “The Road of Anthracite” logo had been added to most of the fleet by the transition era. The thousand mile Lackawanna system served New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania and originated large volumes of coal, especially clean-burning anthracite. DL&W merged with Erie in 1960 to form Erie Lackawanna. |

Prior to their major expansions beginning in 1993, Kansas City Southern along with subsidiary Louisiana & Arkansas consisted of a 1,700 mile system linking Kansas City with the Gulf of Mexico at Port Arthur, Texas and from Dallas to New Orleans. KCS’s freight car lettering practices were modest, but size of the 9,000 car combined KCS-L&A car fleet made them a common sight across the country. In recent years, KCS acquired MidSouth, Texas-Mexican and took control of major routes in Mexico. |

The Georgia Railroad received this group of hoppers from Greenville in 1952. The 330 mile Georgia Railroad linked Augusta with Atlanta and Macon. The Georgia controlled the West Point Route roads running west all the way to Birmingham and Selma, Alabama. This made the Georgia the anchor link in a Georgia-West Point Route-Frisco (or Illinois Central) trunk linking the southern plains with the deep south. In 1983, Georgia Railroad was rolled into Seaboard System. |

The Bessemer &Lake Erie linked the Bessemer-Pittsburgh area with the Lake Erie docks at Conneaut (pronounced Connie-ott), Ohio and Erie, Pennsylvania. The vast majority of the B&LE fleet was hoppers which were used to move iron ore south from the lake docks and coal north. Much of this material moved to industry on connecting lines making these iron-red cars a common sight around the entire region. This group of 5,000 B&LE hoppers featured a 90-ton capacity but were largely indistinguishable from 70-ton cars. |

Illinois Te
rminal. For most railroads, the transition era of the 1950s meant the transition from steam to diesel operation. For the Illinois Terminal, transition meant much more. ITC moved from being an electrified interurban line with significant freight traffic (and some steam power) to being an all diesel powered all-freight line. Also during this period, some major Class One carriers in the St. Louis area (B&O, C&EI, CB&Q, GM&O, Litchfield & Madison, IC, NKP, Frisco, and Wabash) jointly purchased the ITC to provide a neutral terminal railroad in the St. Louis area. The Illinois Terminal mainline ran northeast from St. Louis to Springfield where the line split for Peoria, Bloomington, Decatur, and Danville. In total, the ITC operated more than 400 route miles in Illinois. In 1981, the Illinois Terminal was merged into the Norfolk & Western. |

Part #: BS-73301 Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo - Road #: TBA – Single - 70-Ton, 3-Bay, Offset-Side Hopper |
Thanks to Mike and Lance, both knowledgeable “Canucks” for their help with our TH&B artwork. Since more than half the fleet was assigned at one point to the Dane iron ore pool (along with a number of CA-SO, CN, NYC, P&LE and ONT hoppers) we have added the Dane
“big white dot.” After that service ended, these hoppers moved on to other service but kept their white dots. We also added CP style diamond reflectors and greatly improved the TH&B bow tie logo. Lastly, we are replacing the coal load with an iron ore load (we suggest trimming off the risers on the bottom of the loads so they’ll sit lower in the car). After their days of hauling iron ore, these cars could be found moving coke, scrap tinplate, anode slime, stone, crushed slag and zinc concentrate. |

The 110 mile Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo operated in the isthmus between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie west of Buffalo and south of Toronto. For most of its history, ownership was split between New York Central (later PC) and Canadian Pacific. After the collapse of Penn Central, CP took sole ownership then finally merged the TH&B in the mid-80s. TH&B served the heavily industrialized region around Hamilton, Ontario and sported fairly heavy traffic levels. |

Illinois Central was the principle hauler of coal from the massive Illinois Coal Basin Coal made up 40% of Illinois Central’s gross tonnage and their “Central” location and high yield made this coal competitive in much of the country Because of this, IC hoppers could be found nearly anywhere in the lower 48 This particular batch was built in IC’s huge Centralia Car Shops (not too far from the Bluford Shops) in 1966 Despite being built 17 years after the C&O cars seen below, IC used friction bearing trucks on these cars |

Those not familiar with Missouri Pacific may believe that
it wouldn’t be much of a “coal road.” That would be incorrect and MP rostered
about 5,000 of these 70-ton offset side hoppers as proof. MP served coal mines
in southern Illinois, western Missouri (and adjoining states,) east Texas and
eastern Colorado. While many roads advertised their passenger fleets on their
boxcars, MP was one of the few to do the same on open top cars like hoppers and
gondolas. They began applying this scheme to new cars and repaints around 1949
and continued for the next decade. |

One of Missouri Pacific ’s several subsidiary
lines, Missouri-Illinois Railroad (known affectionately by locals as the
“Mike and Ike ”) served a number of large coal mines in southern Illinois. The
Illinois Coal Basin covers large tracts of southern Illinois and Indiana and
western Kentucky and can generate close to 60 million tons annually. That would
fill a whopping 2,300 seventy ton hoppers every day! Most of the coal originated
on the M-I was delivered to connecting lines for heavy industry across the
midwest and far west. |

Seaboard Air Line Railroad was a 4,000+ mile system

up 500 of these cars from Pullman Standard in 1957. In addition to coal,
Seaboard’s hopper fleet was just as likely to be found hauling sand, gravel, or

Click photo

Carbon County Railway served two massive coal mines in
Utah. Much of the coal went for making coke to feed the furnaces of the steel
mill that owned the railroad. However, the output of the mines far exceeded what
the mill could use and the extra coal moved to industries in other states and
even moved to the coast for export. The CBC freight car fleet consisted of 500
hoppers and a single gondola. Carbon County Railway closed up in 1983. This
roadname will be available in 3 road numbers. 73211 single car; 73212 2-Pack. |

Click photo
to see large view |
The 10,000+ mile Southern Railway System blanketed the southern Appalachia region and consequently hauled much of the coal produced.Like the New York Central and Missouri Pacific, Southern was made up of several large subsidiary
railroads including the Cincinnati New Orleans & Texas Pacific, the New Orleans & North Eastern, and the Alabama Great Southern. In latter years, the Georgia & Florida, Central of Georgia, Interstate, Savannah & Atlanta along with
several smaller lines would join the ranks of Southern’s “paper” railroads. Prior to the 1960 adoption of the big block style lettering, Southern lettered their freight equipment with the classic Railroad Roman style. Until the 1980s, Southern used
their full name as their reporting marks with large numerals. Southern delivered much of their coal traffic to connecting roads at Southern’s gateways in St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Washington D.C., Jacksonville, New Orleans, and
Memphis. |

Canadian National had a whopping 4,655 offset side 3-bay hoppers making them one of the most common cars on CN. They were built in several batches between 1949 and 1958. Eastern Car Company, National Steel, and Canadian Car & Foundry all built cars to this same design for CN. Beginning in 1961, cars were repainted with the newly adopted “noodle” logo as they went in for servicing. The Canadian National of this period operated over 22,000 miles of line. That’s more than the Santa Fe and Pennsylvania Railroad combined! |

Click photo

The New York Chicago & St. Louis was better known as Nickel Plate Road since the time of its construction. From the 1920s onward, Nickel Plate had made its name by funneling high priority freight from its western gateway cities of Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis to connections with eastern roads in Buffalo, New York. Coal had always been part of the mix but in 1949, Nickel Plate became a major originator of coal when they acquired the Wheeling & Lake Erie. The X-shaped W&LE linked Toledo with Wheeling, West Virginia on one axis, and Cleveland and Zanesville, Ohio on the other axis. The acquisition included 3,000 of these 70 ton hoppers. In 1964, Nickel Plate picked up another 500 of these cars from Bethlehem Steel. The hunger for coal for electricity, metallurgical, industrial, and consumer use sent these hoppers across much of the country. |

Boston & Maine picked up these cars second hand in 1962. They had been built by Bethlehem 13 years before but were still in great shape .B&M was not much of a coal hauler but they did move a great deal of stone for the region’s growing construction business. Therefore, the loads for our B&M run will represent gray stone instead of black coal. |

The 1,500 mile Minneapolis & St. Louis ran from the Twin Cities and points in South Dakota, south through central Iowa, then east to connections with the eastern trunk lines in Peoria, Illinois. They presented themselves as a bridge route from the Northwest to the East whilst avoiding the congestion of Chicago. Ironically, coal was their largest single commodity. This was due to the voluminous grain traffic being split between wheat, corn and others, but also the large open pit coal mines in Iowa. More coal mines were served in central Illinois. |

Item Description
|
Pricing
| Order link |
Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
