Edition
Limited Edition models of unique prototypes
N Scale WM 90000
“Built in September of 1963 by Bethlehem Steel and labeled
corrosion test car this is the only 100 ton quad hopper owned by Western Maryland. As far as I know the WM was doing
corrosion test for its own interest.
However since the rotary dumper at Port Covington
(Baltimore)
could only handle up to 70 ton cars the quad’s service was limited. Thus it was often seen in service to the
mines around Bayard, WV and then taken up to the power plant
(Vepco Power) since they could handle the big car.” This car was re-painted into the Chessie
scheme in September of 83. G David Smith 2004
