The Ontario Northland Railway (ONT) is a Canadian railway in operation since 1902 and headquartered in North Bay, Ontario. It's mainline is located entirely in Ontario, but has spurs reaching into Quebec. Important for the economic growth of the province, during construction through the Canadian Shield, valuable minerals, gold, silver, copper and nickel were discovered. Other commercial ores and the forests of Northern Ontario became exposed via the railroad.

The New York, Susquehanna & Western Railway (NYSW) (a.k.a. Susie-Q or Susquehanna) is a Class II American freight railway operating over 500 miles of track in the northeastern states of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It was formed in 1881 from the merger of several smaller railroads. Passenger service in Northern New Jersey was offered until 1966. Always an anthracite hauler, the railroad was purchased by the Delaware Otsego Corporation in 1980, and became a regional player in the intermodal freight transport business.

Representing the last 60 years for the coal industry, these were the State-of-the Art coal hoppers when CSX Transportation became it's own entity in the 1980's. After inheriting many, many 100-Tonners from all their mergers, an aggressive purchasing program ensued to create a most formidable coaling fleet! With the advent of Revolving Dumping these cars, today, remain a staple for hauling super-large quantities of coal to electric plants and other coal-burning facilities. Honoring the three integral Rail Lines (WM, B&O, C&O) forming the CSXT conglomerate, the reporting marks of each was kept as part of the identification of the older cars.

When CSX Transportation (CSXT), one of our four primary National rail lines, finally gained it's own identity in 1987, an energetic purchasing and repainting program began. Big 100-Ton hoppers were added to a whopping fleet acquired from all the mergers. As tribute to three main Railroads of the consolidation, CSX kept the reporting marks of each as part of the identification of the inherited cars! (WM, C&O, B&O)

The Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) formed in 1869, tapped the coal reserves of West Virginia, established Newport News, VA with coal piers on the Atlantic, and forged a rail link to our Midwest, serving the USA States of IL, IN, KY, MI, NY, OH, PA, VA, WADC, WV, and WI. In 1964, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) jointly filed to acquire control of the Western Maryland Railway and became part of the Chessie System which, eventually in 1987, became part of CSX Transportation.

Revolving Dumpers ~ Rotary Couplers • In the course of coal unloading procedures at modern facilities, the revolving dumper was ideated. This was a piece of track enveloped by a huge turning mechanism which surrounded and locked the coal car in place, thus allowing the mechanism to rotate on an axis and dump the load from the topside, instead of the traditional gravity dumping via the hopper doors at the bottom. The use of a spinning rotary coupler in it's yoke, engaged the car within the mechanism allowing this method of quick and expedited dumping. Usually, the forward end panels of the hopper were painted a contrasting color to denote placement of the peculiar coupler. The use of this method has led to the end of the traditional hopper, and top gons, bathtubs and coal porters are taking it's place. Eventually, new technology using rotary couplers at each end of the car, allows dumping without uncoupling from the consist, further saving time in the unloading routine!

Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway • (ATSF)/Santa Fe • One of the largest railroads in the USA, serving the States of AZ, CA, CO, IL, IA, KS, LA, MO, NE, NM, OK, and TX. The Santa Fe quickly bought into these large haulers, so great amounts of coal could be shipped over long distances. An innovator in Modal Transportation, ATSF operated from 1859 until 1996 when it merged with the Burlington Northern Railroad to form Burlington Northern and Santa Fe, the BNSF Railway.
