Built in April of 1967, this three-bay ACF Centerflow covered
hopper with Barber Roller Bearing trucks belonged to an order
of 50 cars. Western Pacific used the cars to ship minerals such
as potash, salt, and phosphates, along with some grains. Western
Pacific was a Class 1 Railroad formed in 1903 in order to offer
another rail option to the established Utah routes of the Southern
Pacific. WP was acquired in 1982 by Union Pacific Railroad.
