Kaiser Sand & Gravel pictures needed
Author: SimpleMoMike

I need some help researching Kaiser Sand & Gravel. A google search found that it was sold to Koppers Inc in the late 70's, and that's about it. Apparently they had hoppers that were used in plants in Northern California but I can't find any pictures. If anyone has pictures, could you please post here or contact me directly.Thanks for any help.

They had white hoppers with Kaiser Sand and Gravel in black on the sides. Used on the East Pleasanton Turn

Tried to search on 'Kaiser Sand and Gravel' and found hints and suggestions of the cars, apparently they were so common nobody burned any film on them. I do remember them but also all the other cars used in that service.

There's also some interesting overhead photos of the plant and the plant switchers through the years:
