HO KIT ACF Center Flow 2-Bay Hopper - Undecorated

Stock # 41599

The 2-bay covered hopper first entered service in the 1950's.  The cars handle loads such as cement, sand and similar, denser bulk commodities.  In the 1960's American Car Foundry introduced the Centerflow design.  The Centerflow relies on the car's rounded body to provide structural strength without the added weight of bracing as well as making gravity unloading easier.  This 2-bay car came in a 2,970 cubic foot capacity.
