By the 1980s, ACF's Centerflow, along with covered grain hoppers from other builders, had spelled the end of the 40' box car in grain service.

In all, over 100,000 Centerflows of various sizes have been built to date, and an upgraded version of the 4650 cu. ft. car remains in production today, as the 4650C model available from American Railcar Leasing.
