This is Bluford Shops 73631 70T 3Bay Ofst Hp DSS&A. 70-ton offset-side 3-bay hopper with load, ready to run. Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic (boxcar red, white, black logo). The DSS&A ran from Duluth and Superior east down the length of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to the Canadian gateway of Sault Ste. Marie. In 1955, DSS&A purchased this group of secondhand hoppers from the Lackawanna. The cars were repainted and pressed into service hauling gravel. In 1961, the DSS&A was merged with the Minneapolis St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie (the original Soo Line) and their longtime subsidiary Wisconsin Central. The new combined company became Soo Line Railroad although the new company was actually formed around DSS&A's corporate charter. These cars then mixed into the greater Soo hopper fleet.
