I always found it odd that the Q never embraced the unit grain train whereas the Rock Island jumped on that band wagon. Seems the Q had lots of single jumbo covered hoppers, but never assembled into
Some question has been raised about how early industrial corrugated iron siding, i.e. wrinkle tin" came into use. The gargantuan former Sacramento SP Boiler Shop was constructed new with corrugated i

I did a little poking around on the Internet and found few items that might be of interest. A short article on the "History of Corrugated Iron" at https://www.world-archaeology.com/features/history-o
In the 1960s vast amounts of grain in solid trains (not unit trains because all the cars did not originate at a single point) moved through Denver from points east over the Q and continued south over
