group:
there was a 2 part article in rmc 5-7 years ago about the coal docks
at reading, could this
be what he is seeking, if anyone has an up to date selection with
indexes, could you
try and locate these articles, he evidently doesn't subscribe to rmc,
if you can identify
the issues i will try to locate them in my disaster area, and send
him copies to finish this
thread
thanks
mel perry

How about hopper cars with 6-wheel "Buckeye" trucks--seems like I
saw something like that decades ago. DJE

Hi,
The ones I remember were lifted up on an elevator to an elevated
section of track and travelled to the ship they were loading. The
may be some old dockers who may remember it. Mind this was way back
in the 1960's. I think the carrier might been Norfolk & Western.
Dont think it was called that then. I may have the port wrong as we
also called at Norfolk Va on the same trip.
