I went on their site and saw some of their rail cars. They have a lot of nice coal cars as well as aggregate and ore cars. I wonder how much some of their cars cost.

Whos coal cars do the railroads and private corporations prefer-Trinity or Johnstown America?

...The Johnstown America Corp. that builds railroad cars of course is located in Johnstown, Pa. and the site is right ajacent to the old Pennsylvania RR main line and right back of the Pennsylvania RR Depot....From up on the passenger platform at that station you can obtain a great view of the plant. It is part of the former massave steel plant in that location that stretched through the valley for miles....Most of it was the Bethlehem Plant. And of course LC has listed the web site in an above post.


When I was there a year and a half ago I say some Cargill hoppers and Bethgons for some power company outside of the plant.

Andrew,
Have you tried a Google search? Some times that will work.

What is the company about? Sometimes you can sort of cross reference.

Being Crazy,keeps you from going "INSANE" !! "The light at the end of the tunnel,has been turned off due to budget cuts" NOT AFRAID A Vet., and PROUD OF IT!!
