Burlington Route #220145 |
| Description: |
50-ton Hart Selective Ballast Hopper. “Though intended primarily for ballast service, cars of this design could also be used as conventional hoppers for other types of bulk loading. Their versatility enabled their owners to keep them busy in all seasons and when not needed in maintenance of way service they were often used to haul coal, gravel, sugar beets and other revenue freight. For almost half a century the Rodger Ballast Car Company had a very close relationship with the American Car & Foundry and almost all the Hart Selective ballast hoppers were built by AC&F. Even after Rodger’s advertising disappeared from the trade journals, AC&F continued marketing the Hart Design until it was rendered obsolete.” |

Milwaukee Road (CMStP&P) #19331 |
| Description: |
Built by the Milwaukee Road's West Milwaukee Shops in February 1940. The following is from museum signage about this car: "Until the development of specialized car in the last half of the 20th century, the standard steel boxcar hauled the majority of railroad freight. Almost any type of crated, boxed or bagged materials could be carried. With additional equipment, boxcars could also handle cargo as varied as grain or autos. Most railroads and private shippers purchased boxcars from commercial builders. However, some roads built substantial numbers of their own cars in company shops. Milwaukee 19331 was one of 750 identical boxcars built by the railroads shops with distinctive ribbed steel sides. The car handled general merchandise throughout the nation. By the time the railroad was sold in 1985, the car had been downgraded to maintenance of way service. Milwaukee 19331 was donated to IRM, and arrived in Union in 1988." |

The following is from a sign on the car: Boxcar made up the largest portion of most railroads freight car fleets until nearly the end of the Twentieth Century. They were used to carry almost any type of non-perishable solid cargo, ranging from cartons, crates, and bags of merchandise to complete automobiles and loose grain. PRR developed several standardized boxcar designs. Over 7,000 Class X-23 boxcars, with wood sides and ends and steel frames and roofs, were used nationwide. All were retired from revenue service by the 1950s. This car was one of 600 built for subsidiary Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. It was converted to work service around 1946, and retired in 1965. The car was donated to IRM by the Grand Rapids Electric Railway. It arrived at Union in 2001. |
