N&W ore service and equipment

[NW Mailing List]

N&W took over the former W&LE ore docks and huletts at Huron, OH, with
the NKP merger. I believe this was the only Lake Erie ore facility N&W
ever operated. Since N&W had no dedicated ore cars that I am aware of,
I assume they used standard hoppers, maybe gondolas, for hauling ore
and taconite, only partially loaded. Were there any particular classes
or types of cars N&W preferred for this service, or would any
available hopper work? What about motive power? I assume they would
have used 6-axles like for coal service. Time period-wise I'm mostly
interested in the mid 1970s through 1980s, though any information
would be appreciated.
