Description
Introduced in 1961 by ACF® to haul sand, clay, salt, grain and bulk plastics, the Cylindrical Hopper was the first commercially successful tank-type covered hopper car design. A few of the more than 4,000 cars of this type built through 1966 can still be seen in service today across the United States.
NOTE: Some of these cars are available in two different road numbers. If more than one car is ordered, you will receive different road numbers, if available.
