SOUTHERN ROOF-HATCH BOXCARS#26922

 

Beginning in the 1960s, several railroads began converting 40' boxcars for bulk loading use by adding loading hatches to the roof similar to a covered hopper. Unloading was more challenging than a covered hopper, but it accommodated shippers who were not set up to receive bottom- outlet cars. And it allowed the boxcar to be used in other services when not needed for bulk l oading for better year-round utility on seasonal g oods. Typical products included clay and grain and these cars could be found in many areas of the c ountry. Add this unique service to your railroad w ith these new cars!
