This
100-ton 3-bay open hopper with rib sides was built in October 1980. It is part
of a 360-car fleet originally owned by CSX. These cars were purchased by Reading
& Northern when it became clear that Norfolk Southern (RBMN’s Class 1
connection) couldn’t meet their needs with NS’s own rolling stock. RBMN
maintained the black paint scheme and the CSX ‘Ease-UP’ emblem. They
added their web site in white and a colored end panel—in this case red but
some in blue. The color-coding is for easy identification for loading. The road
is also called the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern, hence the RBMN. Back
