Extensive reballasting program on Central Uruguay Railway presented problem of provision of suitable ballast cars at time when there was no immediate prospect of obtaining any of normal hopper type; problem was solved by acquisition locally of second hand 8-ton side dumping cars of type ordinarily used by contractors, and their rebuilding to serve purpose of delivering ballast simultaneously on both sides of single track with as small a space as possible intervening between dumps.
