49' 100-Ton Quad Hopper - Kit -- GN

As new clean air standards were mandated in the 1970s, coal-fired power plants around the country found themselves in need of clean-burning, low sulfur coal. The vast deposits in the western United States met this criteria and demand skyrocketed. New rail lines were built to serve the coal field and orders for 100-ton cars poured in. For loading your unit train, ask your Dealer for the Cornerstone Series(R) New River Mining Co. (933-3017). For the finishing touch, fill your hopers with Magnuson Models Coal Loads (439-563), designed for use with these kits.
