This orange three-bay Ortner rapid discharge
hopper has orange and black ‘GIFFORD-HILL’ logo, black lettering and runs on black
Barber® roller bearing trucks. Built in Feb. 1979 by the Ortner Freight Car
Company, 55 ‘Rapid Discharge’ hoppers are stenciled with the “Gifford-Hill” Logo
and numbered into the 2000-2054 series. Various Gifford-Hill quarries exist throughout
Texas and these cars were seen near the Corpus Christi, TX, docks in the late
1980s. Most of the three-bays were owned by and in captive service of construction
and utility companies. They traveled in unit train fleets to transport heavy material
like stone aggregate, iron ore or limestone.
