Places you'd find 'shorty' ore hoppers

Railroads have been hauling ore in cars pretty much like the "jennies" were talking about here since the 1880s (although the early cars were of wooden construction). The Milwaukee's steel cars, still very much in use in the 1970s, were originally built in 1928 and 1930, and were rebuilt in the 1960s. Ex-C&NW cars of about the same vintage and design were still hauling rock on the Wisconsin & Southern last year.
