This photo depicts a C. S. Card Iron Works ore car which happens to be "one-way side dump" according to the company.
At the turn of the century Charles S. Card, a Denver machinist, decided that it
was time someone built a mine car that would give service instead
of continually demanding it through repair. For this purpose
he organized the C. S. Card Iron Works on January 2, 1900.
In 1901 he set to work to make modifications upon those in use,
But before he finished in the following year, he had invented an
entirely original type of roller bearing mine car wheel with a
solid cap. 19 Sales agents of the company soon had convinced
miners throughout the region of the value of the Card Mine Car.
A plant was constructed at Sixteenth and Alcott Streets in Denver for the
construction, not only of these cars, but also of other mine conveying
and haulage machinery.
