Tobacco cars

Interesting site...

Ambroid Model Co. used to make an HO model of SOU 9774. I seem to recall that Northeastern Scale Models took over some of thier kits. Maybe the kit is still around?

BTW..TYSON... Aren't the large barrels that tobacco is/was shipped in called "hogsheads"?? or "hogheads"??

Thanks for the link billk, first I have ever seen one. They never ran out here. Vic, don't know on your question either is they weren't used out here. Farmers here load the tobacco into trucks then hauled them to Ashville or other points east where they where sold at auction, then I guess the barrels and railcars come into play.
