Vintage Continental narrow gauge dump cars

These 1911 vintage Continental 4-yard narrow gauge wood dump cars were used for many excavation and mining service jobs.  They could dump to either side.  These would be easy to build either as operating or non-operating cars.


The photo above shows a steam shovel loading a string of dump cars near Buckley Washington for the Pacific Coast Power company.



Above shows dump cars dumping excavated material into barges in Brooklyn, New York.  The carts were owned by the Tide water Building Company.  Interesting barges in this photo.
