Bluford Shops N 74114 3-Bay Offset Side Hopper Ontario Northland 'C&O Coal Service Stencil' ONT #140120

Railroad Specific Information:

Around 1957, Ontario Northland found themselves with a temporary glut of hoppers. ONT made an arrangement with Chesapeake & Ohio and these 3-bay offset side hoppers were sent south to move coal on the C&O. They were not renumbered so to prevent C&O agents from routing the empty cars back to Canada, they received what must be the largest routing instructions ever applied to car sides: 'TIDE COAL ONLY. WHEN EMPTY RETURN TO HANDLEY FROM THE WEST OR THURMOND FROM THE EAST, C&O RWY.  MUST NOT BE LOADED TO OR MOVED TO CANADA.' The cars were eventually returned to ONT, and could be found in the mid-60s assigned to the Dane, Ontario iron ore pool and sporting a new paint job.

Prototype Information:

70 ton 3-Bay Offset Side Hoppers first appeared in the late '20s and by the late '30s had become an AAR standard design with cars delivered from a number of builders in large quantities. The last of these cars were delivered in the late-'60s and many remained in service through the '80s.

These ready-to-run models feature:

  • Diecast slope sheet-hopper bay-center sill assembly
  • Injection molded plastic sides, ends, and hopper doors
  • Fully molded brake tank, valve and air lines
  • Slope sheet braces
  • Separately molded vertical brake rod and lever assembly
  • Body mounted brake hose detail
  • 'Coal' load except as noted
  • Body mounted magnetically operating couplers; close coupling;
  • Friction bearing or roller bearing trucks as appropriate for each road name
  • All road names are produced in multiple road numbers.
