Throwback Thursday - Bridge Line Ore Car

 

D&H 212 was spotted on the CP at Puslinch on April 03, 1994.
By Peter Mumby. 

D&H 212 was a 1947 cubic foot capacity ore car built by Bethlehem in 1965.  It belonged to series 100-240.  As delivered it featured black ends and yellow sides.  Lettering on the sides was in blue.  The attached central panel was lettered as follows:
“FOR ILMENITE
LOADING ONLY
RETURN TO D&H
NORTH CREEK, N.Y.”
By the time this photo was exposed, the car’s ore-carrying days were over and it was in general service.
