This 43’ Ortner open hopper is painted
green with white lettering on sides and ends. Its primary use, by
Western Paving & Construction Co., was to transport gravel to
the Denver International Airport during its construction. Ideal
for carrying heavy aggregate, the ‘Rapid Discharge’ design is able
to self-clear through the rails within 30 seconds. After several
cars from this series were scrapped as the result of a wreck, remaining
cars were seen for some time after the completion of the airport.
