Several railroads, along with numerous public utilities own these cars giving them a wide variety of paint schemes to wear. The prototype car has a 4200 cubic foot capacity, and are labeled as a Plate F car – meaning they are big! The RD stands for Rapid Discharge. With 5 bays with gates along the bottom, these cars can be emptied quickly as conventional bottom dump cars, or they can also be unloaded with a rotary dumper since they are equipped with rotary couplers (look for the colored end.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc_blk_bot rte\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies - Your #1 Largest Authorized ScaleTrains Select Retailer!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ScaleTrains N","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48320452788377,"sku":"FVM10086","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/1742233736.1280.1280__93822.1742233780.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784159405","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/scaletrains-fox-valley-models-n-fvm10086-trinity-rd-4-coal-hopper-chicago-northwestern-cnw-880148","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
