Erie Lackawanna
According to the Conrail Historical Society, "The CE16B class of covered hoppers was built by Pullman Standard during July 1970 as EL 20150-20279. Cars were assigned to CR 886181-886540 series. Series is not solid because the cars were renumbered around other cars joining the fleet. Some cars were also renumbered into the CR 886006-886178 series which were allocated for EL 20025-20074 class CE15B cars that were transfered to the D&H in April 1976. Cars are rated at 100 tons, 4740 cuft & are 56ft long."

Reading Company
RDG 78671 was part a 100-car series (RDG 78650-78749) of 3500 cu. ft. 3-bay covered hoppers that the Reading Company built in 1970, basing them on the Pullman-Standard PS-2 model but slightly taller. Where noted, some cars were specially lined with plastic, allowing them to be used in sugar service. All 100 cars made it onto Conrail in 1976. All of the Reading Covered hoppers in this series that survived in their original paint and reporting marks kept their RDG numbers. Conrail officially changed their class to CR13A. Those that were repainted or stenciled went into series CR 884xxx, with no sequencing of numbers.
