Hey guys:
Can someone help date a couple of items for me?
When did external braced 54' Covered hoppers beginr to appear on railroads?

and also the
70 TON 2 BAY COVERED HOPPER?

It's the prototype I'm interested in not the model.
Thanks, G

makin' a 'tab at it... late '40's early '50's... Sand service for locomotives. I'll delete this post if the correct answer rises to the occasion. John
I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out. "I love your catenary!" Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?
