Baltimore & Ohio Pot Hopper
I bring to you today the Baltimore and Ohio’s Pot Hopper. This was more of a project for fun than anything else. Not to mention help fill out the early American era’s . An excerpt below from the B&O Museum.
"In 1842, the B&O reached the base of the Alleghenies which increased the railroad’s coal shipments east. In order to keep up with the increasing traffic, the B&O created a circular hopper made of iron. Most railroads used wooden gondolas to haul coal. The new iron hopper was a large pot that tapered at the bottom, so it could dump coal on an open trestle. These hoppers were built of thin iron plate and could handle the harness of coal."
