Built in the late 1960s by the General American Transportation Company for the Chesapeake & Ohio, this 50’ Airslide Covered Hopper with Barber Roller Bearing trucks eventually made it into CSX paint. 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.
