Although it was just 88 miles long, the Interstate Railroad generated a large volume of coal traffic and owned a fleet of 3,000 hopper cars. These cars spent much of their time on connecting lines earning per diem charges (a major source of income to the Interstate.) Interstate became a subsidiary of Southern Railway in 1961.

These ready-to-run cars will feature:

• diecast slope sheet-hopper bay-center sill assembly
• injection molded plastic sides, ends, and hopper doors
• fully molded brake tank, valve and air lines
• body mounted brake hose detail
• coal load
• lever-style hand brake
• body mounted magnetically operating knuckle couplers
• close coupling
• Fox Valley Models metal wheels

All road names will be available in multiple road numbers. For instance, order a single, a 2-pack and a 3-pack to get all six road numbers on a run. (Some road names will be available in just three road numbers.)
