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 added safety appliances to their 500 cars in 1913. Three more knock holes were cut in the sides to help dislodge frozen ore. In 1924 most were sold to a used equipment dealer. All were gone by 1930. Decal 3451 - Price B WESTERFIELD 53 RIVER LANE CROSSVILLE, TN 38555 Telephone: 931-484-7233 Fax: 931-484-7233 E-Mail: westerfield@charter.net
