Offset side 70 ton 3-bay hoppers first appeared in the late 1920s but by the late 30s they had evolved into the AAR standard design seen here. They were built in large quantities by many builders until the mid-1960s. Many remained in service into the 1990s.

The Georgia Railroad received this group of hoppers from Greenville in 1952. The 330 mile Georgia Railroad linked Augusta with Atlanta and Macon. The Georgia controlled the West Point Route roads running west all the way to Birmingham and Selma, Alabama. This made the Georgia the anchor link in a Georgia-West Point Route-Frisco (or Illinois Central) trunk linking the southern plains with the deep south. This road name will be available in 3 road numbers..
