It would appear that using boxcars for hauling ore and concentrate was at least as common as using gondolas, as I've seen images like this (w/ or w/o a truck or a mule train) in a number of sources. Was the concentrate bagged? (Looking at Larry's other photo, the CU, appears that it was not.) It would certainly seem that a gondola would be easier to load, though no easier to unload.

I suppose this was a case of "use what you got to get it done."
