Here's one on the transfer trestle at Mt Union.
Ted Collins did drawings of the different wood EBT hoppers. Including the ex H & C cars, the railroad had at least five different types. Converting to automatic couplers was more work than it was worth, so the EBT invested in steel hoppers, first from Pressed Steel, then from the Rockhill shops. Some wood cars did get knuckle couplers, remained in service until there were enough steel cars to handle the workload.
