Hey Guys:
Does anyone know when the 55' ACF Covered Hoppers came into use on prototype RR's?
Thanks,
G

I think the early/mid '60s.
Anybody know for certain?

From the February 1965 Modern Railroads:
We all know how prevalent these cars are today; I'd say if they were still having to promote them at that time, they must have been pretty new.
I had no idea the discharge outlets were interchangeable! So much for my hatch/outlet theory.
