Used from 1940s through 1970s. Delivered carload shipments of bulk commodities to trackside retailers. The offset-side hopper car had a few advantages over the earlier rib-side type. The crease in the upper sides led to more structural strength without using heavier materials, and there was a greater rated capacity with the side panels riveted to the outside of the ribbing, instead of being on the inside. The efficiency was a boon to the coal merchants! The concept proved successful, and was used to build ever-larger hoppers until after WW II, when rivet pull-through rendered it impractical for modern rotary dumping. Today, although they are seen less frequently, offset-side hoppers remain an important part of railroad history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eCorrect 33 turned metal wheelsets\u003cbr\u003eProto MAX™ metal knuckle couplers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
