40' Airslide Hoppers
New Road Names & Road Numbers!
The airslide covered hopper was introduced
by General American Transportation Corporation (GATX)
in 1953. Approx. 5000 of the 2600 cu. ft. cars were
built between that year and 1969.
The airslide is primarily designed for
the bulk shipment of dry, granular or powdered commodities.
The
design of that car is such that it can be loaded and
unloaded quickly and with little spillage through the
use of air pressure.
The most common commodities carried
include: flour, sugar, starch, plastic pellets, cement,
powdered
chemicals and carbon black.
Features:
-Accurate painting and printing
