This three
bay Evans covered hopper is painted gray with red and white logo
and black lettering. It was built in March
1981 by Evans Products Co. and runs on Barber® Roller Bearing
Trucks. Evans was a supplier of freight cars, parts,
loading devices, and freight car kits. Prolific from 1966 until
1982, they built over 37,000 freight cars. An innovative
company, their loading devices revolutionized how freight is shipped;
they are primarily responsible for the development
of the coil steel car design still being built today. |
