No, 1818 wooden hopper car detail
Another entry in my "It's in the details project". This one shows details in the side of the Pittsburgh, Youngstown & Ashtabula Railroad hopper car, built around 1895, on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
No. 1818 was one of 725 class GG hoppers delivered to the Pittsburgh, Youngstown & Ashtabula in 1895. It was part of a much larger, 2,050 car order placed by the Pennsylvania Railroad that year. The order was so large that is was farmed out to several railcar manufacturers. Barney and Smith built this car at a cost of $512.35. Although No. 1818 had an overall capacity of 40 tons, some cars were later altered to a 50 ton capacity with the addition of higher car sides. Its primary commodity hauled was bituminous coal.
