ROADS: SRR YV HOPPER

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.

Yosemite Valley purcased 51 of these ex-GN cars in 1924 and over the next few years gradually
removed the walkways. They ran until the railroad was abandoned in 1945. Many were sold to
short lines and ran much later. Sierra acquired its cars in about 1924 and some still exist today
on the Sierra property, at Sacramento and San Francisco. Our kit models both SRR and YV.
