Soo Line (W.C.) 50-ton Hopper Car
LS&I 50-ton Hopper Car |
Soo Line 50-ton Hopper Car Produced by Accurail exclusively for the SLHTS using artwork developed and provided by the society. Soo Line (W.C.) 50-ton Hopper Car In 1937 Pullman-Standard built a 100-car series of 50-ton two-bay offset-side hoppers to the 1934 AAR design for the Wisconsin Central. The W.C. was under long-term lease to the Soo Line and was operated as its Chicago Division. There were 97 cars from this series still on the roster in 1961 and the paint and lettering scheme was essentially unchanged throughout their working lives.
These Lake Superior and Ishpeming hopper cars were purchased from the Lehigh and New England. They were built by Bethlehem Steel Company to the 1934 AAR design for the L&NE in 1936. Purchased by the LS&I in 1961, the 150 cars were renumbered 5100 to 5249.
