Atlas Trainman HO 20004902 AAR 70 Ton 9-Panel 3-Bay Open Hopper Standard End Canadian National CN #326432
This familiar hopper was an industry standard on many railroads since the 1930’s. It was adopted by the AAR as a recommended design, but fell out of favor by the mid-1950s. While offering greater capacity over cars with conventional flat sides, the original open hoppers created corrosive interaction between acidic coal and the car’s joints, leading to costly rebuilding programs.
