ROADS: G.N. EMRY A spinoff of the technology used for its all-steel hopper car, Pressed Steel Car Co. developed 40- and 50-ton ore cars in 1899. Most cars were sold to Lake Superior District roads in 1899-1901. They were so well built that used ones were used for decades after advancements made them obsolete for first class roads. Some still exist today. Great Northern purchased 500 cars in 1899-1900 for its Missabe Range traffic. As delivered the cars had walkways down the right side and two knock holes in each side. Cars were lettered for both GN and its Eastern subsidiary. EMRY was absorbed in 1902. The cars were upgraded and renumbered in 1913. See our kit 3451.
