This three-bay rapid discharge hopper is painted light gray with yellow logo with black outlining.  It was built in 1999 by the Ortner Freight Car Company of Cincinnati, OH (now Trinity Industries), and runs on Barber Roller Bearing trucks. The rapid discharge design self clears through the rails within 30 seconds and the hoppers have a 286,000-pound capacity, which makes them perfect for carrying heavy aggregate.  Most of the three-bay hoppers were owned and in captive service of construction and utility companies. They traveled in unit fleets, carrying heavy material like stone, aggregate, iron ore and limestone in unit trains.
