Once relatively unusual, covered hoppers are one of modernrailroading’s most common cars, transporting bulk commodities from grain tocement and a variety of powdered and granular products such as raw plasticpellets. The modern cylindrical covered hopper was pioneered by American Carand Foundry in 1961. Up to that time, the typical covered hopper was basicallya coal hopper with a roof. Like most freight cars, covered hoppers had a centersill that ran down the middle, and unloading doors were placed on either sideof the sill. Some of the load would invariably cake on the center sill, andcars would have to be vibrated to loosen the product and fully empty the car.

ACF’s innovation was the Center Flow design. The frame members weremoved to the outside of the car, the hopper body was made cylindrical, and theunloading doors were moved to the center line of the car, at the bottom of thecylinder. The result was a car that unloaded more completely with less work andhad a larger load capacity as well.

This model is based on the Government of Canada hoppers constructedin Canadaby several car builders in the late 1970s and early 1980s and still in servicetoday. A government Web site explains the story behind the cars: “There areapproximately 12,100 railway hopper cars in the Government of Canada fleet,which form the core of rolling stock used by the Canadian National Railway andCanadian Pacific Railway to move western grain. These cars are provided at nocost to the railways for the transportation of grain from the Prairies to theports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and Churchill, Manitoba, forexport, or to Thunder Bay and Armstrong, Ontario,for domestic or export purposes. The railways have day-to-day control of thecars and allocate them to grain shippers on a commercial basis. The Governmentof Canada receives annual alternate-use revenues from the railways when thecars are not used in regulated grain service.”
