List,

Since I have my file out to answer Mike Mang's question, the next letter happens to be April 22nd.

This happens to be 78 years ago today. The DL&W is answering an inquiry from a customer as to whether it can dump ore thru its dumper at Buffalo. You can see why they turned down this request.

Actually this is one of several materials that could be dumped into lake freighters or canal barges. Most people refer to the "coal dumper", but it could really dump any appropriate material.
