This grey three bay ACF
Center Flow® covered hopper with elongated hatches is painted with black Glasshopper
II lettering and multicolored bands and runs on black Barber® Roller
Bearing trucks. The Glasshopper II was a covered hopper car produced
in a venture involving ACF Industries, Southern Pacific, and Cargill to build
a car body made of filament-wound fiberglass-reinforced polyester. The two cars
built had excellent corrosion resistance properties. One car went through a derailment
with less damage than a steel car would have sustained, however, cost discouraged
its future use.
