33' Twin Bay Hopper w/Offset Sides
Part #MTL-55010 N Scale Supply Price Reprint: April 2003 Both regular and low-profile wheels are included

This 33’ twin bay hopper with offset sides is painted box car red and lettered in white with black and white logo. General American Tank Car Company built this 100,000 lb capacity hopper in March 1941. Though the heavy traffic demands of World War II postponed the retirement or rebuilding of many obsolete wood and composite freight cars, these older cars disappeared rapidly as soon as the war ended, and rebuilding projects resumed on a large scale. Many new all-steel cars began to arrive beginning in 1945, and in the late 1940s the Santa Fe augmented the efforts of the commercial car builders by building some new equipment in its own car shops.
