This product is NEW and in the manufacturer's retail packaging!
The ACF 5701 grain hopper is similar to its 5701 plastics relative except it is equipped with continuous loading hatches and gravity outlets. The larger size was needed to transport lower density grain-related and similar agricultural products (e.g. feed, sunflower seeds etc) more efficiently than the then standard 4650, 4740, and 4750 cubic foot capacity grain hoppers. These were originally built as 263,000 GRL (Gross Rail Loading) cars but many have recently been rebuilt into the higher 286,000 GRL.
Features of the Atlas ACF Grain Hopper Car Include:
- Eight full-width panel body with nine weld seams

- 100-ton roller-bearing trucks with AccuMate couplers

- Two continuous hatch designs (applied as appropriate)
