Reading Company Covered Hoppers

Written by Conductor

Reading Co. LOg Covered Hopper #79702 at Reading, PA.  Photo courtesy David Spohn.

The Reading had a considerable variety of covered hoppers on the roster - everything from home-built cars constructed from open hoppers, to 2-bay and Center-Flow cars built by American Car & Foundry.  These cars carried a diverse array of commodities - sugar, limestone, cement, even roofing granules.  Clicking the links below will open the reference document in a separate window; clicking the camera icon (where available) will display a photo in a separate window.
