| This 50’
Airslide Covered Hopper with 100-ton Barber Roller Bearing trucks
was built in 1978 for Grand Trunk Western. With a special epoxy
lining, these cars were specifically designed for use with fine-grained
commodities, like powdered sugar, that could settle en-route making
unloading difficult. Grand Trunk Western Railroad traces its roots
back to 1858, when the Chicago, Detroit & Canada Grand Trunk
Junction Railroad was formed. GTW was later absorbed by Canadian
National. |
