is a major trader of grains in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. It is primarily involved with the origination
of grains for export due to the large grain crops that are exported
into world markets. Evans was a supplier of freight cars, parts
and loading devices. Prolific from 1966
until 1982, they built over 37,000 freight cars. An innovative
company, their loading devices revolutionized how freight is shipped—they’re
primarily responsible for the development of the coil steel car
design still being built today. |
