Goodwin ballast dump car 1902

This Goodwin ballast dump car was built from steel and iron and could dump to either side, the center, or both sides at the same time.   The car was 35' 11" long over the end sills, and 8' 10" wide.   The height was 8'  6" high above the top of the rail.  The carrying capacity was 80,000 to 125,000 pounds with the load heaped.  They were sometimes turned to haul coal, ore or grain (with an optional adjustable steel cover).

Below is an end view diagram of the car.

This car would make a really neat model.
