Hi Mike. The Ottumwa Boxcar Loader plant was on West 2nd Street in Ottumwa.
It covered the length of a full city block. It sat at Lawler, the junction of
The Milwaukee Road and CB&Q RR. I don't know when it shut down, but the
physical plant stood until about 2 years ago, when the owner, Fred Fisher of
Ottumwa, finally tore it down. It's now an empty lot.

To all:
Here is a posted email from Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad group on
Yahoo. Does anybody know anything about the "Ottumwa Box Car Loader Co." from
the 1920's ?

Ad from Ottumwa Box Car Loader Co (Railway Age 1920's) The company possibly
began as early as 1899 and apparently gone by the 1940's. Originally named for
its founder as the 'Phillips Box Car Loader Co.' and later possibly affiliated
with Ottumwa Iron Co. on W. 4th? Their Loaders used @ coal mines from Missouri
to Utah to Montana. Plant may or may not have been on CB&Q trackage in Ottumwa.
These loaders were part of a CB&Q Yahoo post on the subject in 2000. As they
were sized for 40' boxcars it's doubtful any can be found today unless modified
to load dump trucks or semi-trailer bodies? Anyone near Ottumwa to ck with
local or Wapello Co. His. Soc? Gerald
