Birmingham Southern ordered this fleet of hoppers from neighbor Pullman Standard for the purpose of delivering coal, coke, limestone and iron ore to the mills of BS’s parent company, United States Steel in the greater Birmingham area. “Coal/coke” loads are included for this run.

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.)
