The Penn Central logo is still visible but worn off on this survivor. The few remaining B&A hoppers seemed to remain in New England and not make their way onto much of the system. Still has its friction bearing trucks.

Another Conrail survivor is this little two-pocket open top hopper. It's May 1984 and this car is still running around in its Lackawanna paint and reporting marks, even if it has MoW markings!

14-panel, 3-bay hopper, former NYC. Note the lead truck is a rebuilt former journal box truck. Trailing truck is roller bearing. Reporting marks are stenciled. For HO modeling, use the Stewart 14-panel hopper, though the rebuilt truck is impossible to model.
Location: Wyomissing, PA 5-1-96
Series: Published rosters and the ORER list this car as a 12-panel H39. Either the ORER and rosters are wrong, or Conrail renumbered this car incorrectly.

45' 12-panel triple hopper built 2-4/62 for iron ore service. Renumbered into series CR 479025-479450 and reclassed as HR1C, though the series contains other classes as well. For HO modeling, us the Bowser 12-panel triple model. In N scale, use the Atlas model.

Yep, these two-bays were still in service well into Conrail. The class was first built in 1966, with 1,768 cars being built.
