Overview

Conceived in the early 1950s, the Airslide® covered hopper design was developed for dry bulk ladings such as flour, starch, sugar and plastics. Prior to the late 1940s, such ladings would have been packaged and shipped in boxcars, even for car load shipments. This added extra labor and time to package, load the containers in the boxcar, unload, and remove the lading from the shipment containers. Beginning in the late 1940s, covered hoppers greatly simplified the process by allowing the bulk material to be loaded in through roof hatches, and dumped out of the hopper bays.
However, dry, powdery commodities such as flour, starch, sugar and plastic granules do not always “flow” easily from a standard hopper bay; they have a tendency to compact and “cake up” in the bay, impeding the unloading process. To solve this problem, the Fuller Company of Catasauqua, PA patented the Airslide® concept. In an Airslide® covered hopper, the bays are formed into two narrow, steep-sided troughs with a layer of an air-permeable fabric material at the bottom. Air is pumped through the material, causing the lading to fluidize and flow easily through the hopper outlets, the air allowing the lading to more easily “slide” out of the car.
Airslide® covered hoppers were built by General American Transportation (GATC), with production commencing in 1953. Originally, there were two configurations - a single-bay, 2,600 cubic foot car, and a two-bay, 3,660 cubic foot car. Both were available with gravity or pneumatic outlets. In later years, as freight car sizes increased, several railroads and private owners had pairs of their single-bay cars joined together with a drawbar, in order to create a larger-capacity car.
The all-new Athearn model is of a single-bay, 2,600 cubic foot car. This initial release is of what is typically referred to as an “early” version Airslide®, the prototype having been built from 1955 to 1965, before major design changes were implemented. Airslide® hoppers proved to be extremely popular cars, selling to numerous railroads throughout the country, as well as private owners. They could be found in the paint schemes of nearly all the major roads, with many seeing additional schemes throughout the years as the result of sales and mergers. They were also leased to many other railroads and private companies by GATC; painted for the lessee, but carrying GACX reporting marks. Operationally, they could be found serving flour mills, sugar refineries, bakeries, and plastic plants, among other industries.

Item Description

Stock Checks:

Inventory is a fluid commodity.  It changes by the hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson. When we held items for customers’ orders, the order never materialized 80%+ of the time.  We lost out on the orders placed while the item was on hold.  Also we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms pages, we don’t do it anymore.
You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items are available and if possible attempt to locate what we don’t have while you are on the phone.
