Illinois Central was the principle hauler of coal from the massive Illinois Coal Basin. Coal made up 40% of Illinois Central’s gross tonnage and their“Central” location and high yield made this coal competitive in much of the country. Because of this, IC hoppers could be found nearly anywhere in the lower 48. This particular batch was built in IC’s huge Centralia Car Shops (not too far from the Bluford Shops!) in 1966. Despite being built 17 years after the C&O cars above, IC used friction bearing trucks on these cars. This roadname will be available in 12 road numbers
