Reply to "Who makes really nice ore cars?"

Having worked on Ore Docks in Duluth MN iron ore came in various colors.  From shades what I call dark red to a fine bronze.  The ore in the cars is actual iron ore on glued styrofoam.   Just as taconite from the different plants came light gray to almost purple.  The white in the cars is actually two shades representing calcite and dolomite limestone used for a flux pellet.
