Introduced in 1961 by ACF to haul sand, clay, salt, grain and bulk plastics, the Cylindrical Hopper was the first commercially successful tank-type covered hopper car design. Configured in many styles and number of bays, this is a 6 bay hopper and was used by the Wabash Railroad for their signature Cannonball Freight Service. A few of the more than 4,000 cars of this type built through 1966 can still be seen in service today across the United States.

Atlas Master HO 20005783 ACF 6-Bay Covered Hopper Wabash ‘Cannonball Freight Service’ WAB #33019
Very nice rendition of this car. It will fit in with my 1960-75 era layout. So now all I have to do is weather it a little. I usually don't go crazy on weathering unless the build date is at the very beginning of my era and it needs to look road weary--like me!
