Charlie;

If memory serves it's a 3 bay coke hopper, built  by Johnstown America, 
should be an H61 class car. It's my understanding these  are rebodies, using ex 
Sou coal cars, but I don't know that to be fact.There  are no extra 
markings on these cars.

NS rebodied what are 4 bay coke  hoppers in Roa. After the TopGon program 
ended.The 4 bays have "High Top"  across them like the TopGons do. The HT's 
are an extended height version of  the H62R 4 bay coal cars.

Regards,
Russ Goodwin

in Lynchburg today. The  number is NS 802557. Does this have N&W or SR 
heritage? Coupled to it was  a crusty ex-MP ext. sides hopper still in MP paint!
