The three-compartment ACF 3560 Center Flow Covered Hopper was designed for the transport of high-density dry bulk ladings of 50 – 60 pounds per cubic foot. About 2,214 cars were built from 1967 – 1972. This Center Flow Covered Hopper transported a wide variety of commodities, including salt, fertilizer, starch, bauxite, and clay.

Note To Modelers: Canpotex & Potash Corp have not in the past, and presently do not operate this car. They operate 4550 cu ft 4 bay cylindrical hoppers, 5162 cu ft 3 Bay Hoppers, and newer NSC 4275 & 4300 cu ft 3 bay covered hoppers built specifically for Potash service.
