So what do you all think about more roof hatch style boxcars?

It’s Throwback Thursday! On a warm July day in 1967, this roof-hatch boxcar received a bulk shipment of clay at the Gordon, Georgia, plant of the Freeport Kaolin Company, near Macon. Used by paper manufacturers, kaolin gives paper a glossy finish.

Southern Railway introduced roof-hatch boxcars—an important in the clay shipping industry—in 1963 and they went into regular service a year later. These standard boxcars were modified by the addition of roof hatches for fast bulk loading. Liners on the car interiors prevented contamination and permitted quick unloading by tractor-mounted scoops.

The modified boxcars were just one example of innovation on the railroad, and the “efficient, low-cost dependable service provided by a forward-looking, forward-moving Southern.”

Then and now, is an important part of the Norfolk Southern story.
