These 2971
cubic foot capacity two-bay ACF hopper cars with Barber Roller
Bearing trucks were built in 1974 for Denver & Rio Grande
Western and belonged to series 10000-10069. After subsequent mergers
in the 1990s, they were transferred to Union Pacific where they
continue to serve today, repainted but still carrying the D&RGW
reporting marks and series numbers. These cars were used to transport
high-density granular commodities such as sand.
