| This three bay Ortner Rapid Discharge hopper
is painted SP red with white lettering and runs on SP red Barber® roller bearing
trucks. The Ortner Freight Car Company of Cincinnati, Ohio (Now Trinity Industries)
built two-bay, three-bay and four-bay versions of the Rapid Discharge hopper.
The ‘Rapid Discharge’ design self-clears through the rails within 30 seconds and
is perfect for carrying heavy aggregate. Built in November 1981, hoppers are stenciled
with the familiar large Southern Pacific sans-serif road name. Most of the three-bays
were owned by and in captive service of construction & utility companies,
traveling in unit train fleets used for the transport of heavy material like stone
aggregate, iron ore or limestone. |
