Canadian Cylindrical Hoppers

Repaints of the Canadian Cylindrical Hoppers.

A covered hopper is any railroad car with a full roof and unloading bays on the bottom of the car. Being built by most of the freight car manufacturers of the 20th century, these cars are typically used for bulk shipment of granular loads.

Originally posted by Trackside Treasure:

Over 19,000 government covered hoppers, built by Hawker-Siddeley, National Steel Car and Marine Industries have been carrying Canadian grain on CN and CP rails since 1972. Their design was unpopular with US railroads, where 4650 cu ft cars prevailed. The 4,550 cubic-foot teardrop/cylindrical design without a flat roofline remained conspicuously Canadian.
The bulk of the brown and yellow fleet as well as all the red and black cars were purchased by the federal government (13,500 cars). The Canadian Wheat Board acquired 4,000 brown and yellow cars. The provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta each bought 1,000 cars.
