Finally! The Big John Covered Hopper
#6
Since one of my favorite part of the hobby is research, I tried to find out a reason why they were called "Big John's.
Though I couldn't find a direct reference,what I did find out is that "Big John" might have been a poke at the head of the ICC, John Ingram, during the time of Southern RR ICC court debacle.
But I couldn't find a confirmation of that story.

I went to my Happy Place, but it was closed for renovations.
