Rise of Steel Freight Cars Gains Momentum
The steel freight car, cheaper to repair and longer lasting than wood, now dominates ore transport with capacity around 110000 pounds. Invented about ten years ago by Charles Shoen, it faced slow adoption, with only 2700 built in 1898 and 14464 in 1900. Pennsylvania leads demand with a goal of 15000 steel cars. Steel passenger cars lag due to unknown reasons, though they cannot burn.
