NS 802557 extended hopper

[NW Mailing List]

Richard;

I'm not at the house this week, so I'm not sure of the car numbers. But, the three bays coke cars do not carry a nickname, and the four bays do, being High Tops. There are about 200 of the 3 bays and significantly more 4 bays, all of which carry the High Top logo. The cars are in a couple of classes in 302000 series and the 802000 series. When I get home in a week, I'll post the car classes, number series and descriptions.

Regards,
Russ Goodwin

Russ and Charlie,
 

>From the descriptions I am hearing I wonder if it is this car. This is a 

"High Top" H63R. The number is 302327.

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.

Russ Goodwin

  this extended side hopper at CSX Sandy Hook here 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!
