GATX
Airslide Covd Hopper
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 and
starch. Previously released by Atlas, this car is now part
of their TrainMan series. This
Atlas Trainman freight car features:
Accurate
painting and printing
Equipped
with AccuMate® couplers
Ready-to-run
Realistic
roof walks and brake line details
70-ton
