These quad hoppers were purchased in large build groups by Louisville \u0026amp; Nashville 'L\u0026amp;N' and Clinchfield Railroad 'CRR' for loading at Appalachian coal mines, and these quad hoppers became the backbones for both railroad’s coal fleets, plus SCWX South Carolina utility fleet cars. These cars served well into the CSXT era in un-rebuilt configurations due to their importance in CSXT’s coal-hauling strategy. These 3350 cubic foot quad coal hoppers are visually similar but not the same as the 'Western design' 3600 cubic foot quad hoppers as utilized by Union Pacific, also offered by Tangent. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies = Big Inventory ∙\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cem\u003eValue Pricing ∙ Fast Shipping ∙ Great Service\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tangent HO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48320007798937,"sku":"TSM32013-04","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/32013-low-side-logo__70535.1702056286.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784152073","url":"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/products\/tangent-scale-models-ho-32013-04-bethlehem-steel-3350cuft-quad-coal-hopper-wisconsin-central-ex-crr-fh19-patch-1992-v1-wc-57623","provider":"Lombard Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
