CNW’s paint and lettering specification included yellow ends to designate the rotary end of the coal hopper.  The scheme includes the classic ‘ball and bar’ scheme with a red ball and black bar.  Interestingly, this specific series of CNW cars did not have the distinctive trapezoids on the car sides but instead had flat panels, which forced us to tool a different body shell specifically for this CNW order in order to be correct.  These cars were similar to the BN cars because they had the ‘short B end, long A end’ body configuration with offset truck bolster spacing, although they had ladders on the left side of the car instead of grab irons.  CNW ordered two groups of these Pullman 4000 cubic foot cars of equal numbers.  This Tangent release focuses on the common green repaints that were in coal service, as well as coke, aggregate, and tie services as well later in life.  Don’t miss out on these classic cars from 1985.  We offer this scheme in 24 road numbers so you can model a unit train.

The stenciling does not end there though – there is a significant amount of stenciling on these cars, plus of course an accurate ACI label. These cars also have ‘SOUTHERN’ and road number stenciling applied to the underframe. If you look closely, you will notice that, YES, we tooled up a Southern body version that features the Southern-specific ‘open style’ ends and SC-1 Empty-Load Brake Equipment details. Check out those details, with a parallel-mounted air reservoir and additional piping for the SC-1 Equalizing Reservoir. The PS3600 cubic foot hoppers purchased by Southern had low-mount handbrake housings, a distinction from the Pullman-Standard Chessie \/ B\u0026amp;O prototypes. The handbrake is an accurate Universal-style brake housing and brake wheel to finish off this Southern replica.

These were built by Bethlehem Steel Company and assigned the number series #17500-17699. Up to 1957, the D\u0026amp;RGW had a well-established history of using drop bottom gondolas for coal service. Although the Committee lot was not the first 70-ton open HT class hoppers for the Rio Grande, it was perhaps the most important pivot towards HT class cars. From here forward, the Rio Grande never looked back–both in terms of the Committee Design and its builder, Bethlehem Steel. Every new HT AAR class car that the D\u0026amp;RGW purchased was from Bethlehem, and every new, 70-ton HT class car the Rio Grande acquired was of the committee design. In total, D\u0026amp;RGW would own 800 Committee Design hoppers. This car comprised 44% of the total 70-ton hopper fleet.

These cars served well into the CSXT era in un-rebuilt configurations due to their importance in CSXT’s coal-hauling strategy.
