Railroads came up with lots of great ideas to make things more efficient. Many of those ideas, like bottled water, and the red carpet, are part of our daily lives... as we have shown you in previous episodes.
Today, we talk about an idea that sounded good, but didn't work out: The Bopper Car. A combination of hopper car and box car. Only a few were made, and the remaining ones were donated to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. Today they're used as storage for many of the shop's parts.
