First built in 1894 by Heinz to carry cucumbers from salting stations to bottling plants, the
design was standardized about 1902 when Middletown Car Co. produced a similar car for the
trade. Claussen purchased 4 cars for its 4 salting stations in IL and IN. The cars likely ran into
the early 1920`s. Heinz had 41 pickle cars, most of this design. We offer two of the paint
styles used: kit 2202 is has yellow sides with green and white lettering on 1907 and later; kit
2203 has oxide sides with red and white lettering of 1900-1907. Heinz cars lasted in quantity
through the 1920`s and one as long as 1950.
