These ore cars were way more popular on the ACR when they were used hauling sinter out of Wawa but after Wawa shut down WC moved them into Tilden service for one winter and they were fairly quickly phased out as they leaked pellets pretty badly. I found this one and a couple more in fresh WC paint at Shops in fall 2000. SSAM 208475 probably hasn't looked this good since it was brand new on the ACR. Oddly this style car was way more popular on ACR than the round side version ACR had and when they moved to pellet service the round sides ended up being better suited to pellet work that these.
