Cylindrical Covered Hopper
Prototype Information
In 1961, American Car and Foundry (ACF) introduced a new type of covered hopper. Up until this time, covered hoppers, like most freight cars had a heavy center sill to support the car and transmit the pulling force. This required hopper cars to have two outlets for each bay; one on either side of the center sill. ACF’s new design eliminated the center sill, allowing one outlet that dumped between the rails. The new design also centered the loading hatches atop the car and was cylindrical in shape.
