Outside the feed mill on Woodrow Avenue, Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania there are always a couple of covered hopper cars spotted on the plants spur. The railroad is Norfolk Southern, but the cars are usually from Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern or the BNSF empire. I always assumed the cars had been built some place like Johnstown, Pennsylvania. I was a bit surprised (and pleased) when I got up close to this DME car and discovered the maker's plate was the National Steel Car Company of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. DME was purchased by Canadian Pacific in October, 2008.
