Hopper ACF Cylindrical 6 Bay SHPX ver 7 DES

ACF 6 Bay Cylindrical Covered Hopper, lettered for SHPX, version 7, with Sterling Salt logo, with ARN. Loads sand, clay, salt, grain and granular plastic.

Introduced in 1961 by ACF® to haul sand, clay, salt, grain and bulk plastics, the Cylindrical Hopper was the first commercially successful tank-type covered hopper car design. A few of the more than 4,000 cars of this type built through 1966 can still be seen in service today across the United States.

In the early 1960s ACF introduced their roundish cylindrical hoppers, which differed greatly from ribbed sided hoppers of the era. These cars appear to have been made in 3-bay and 6-bay variations. These cylindrical hoppers were superceded on ACF’s production line by the Centerflow in 1964, a revolutionary design that influenced later covered hopper types. In the late 60s or early 70s Canada came out with 4-bay covered hoppers that appear to be derived from ACF’s pre-Centerflow cylindricals, used by CN, CP and various Canadian shippers.'
