These 2-bay-covered hoppers are grey with black lettering and run on Bettendorf trucks. Built in 1957 for ATSF, these 2,006 cubic-foot capacity hoppers have a 77-ton capacity. Small, two-bay hoppers were often used for relatively dense commodities, such as cement powder, sand, potash, and other fine-grained materials, and usually had a similar loaded weight to larger and longer cars.
