Paul,

There was nothing remarkable mentioned about these cars in the Freight

were classed as 50-ton cars, not 70 ton.

>I always thought these cars appeared to be used for ore service - they remind me of L&HR's covered ore cars. Seems that the car is awfully small, even for a dense material such as cement. And I could see Erie using these to serve their Youngstown area mills. Thoughts? Or am I completely wrong here?
