Typically carried in covered hoppers, designs have evolved over the years to increase the efficiency of handling this vital commodity. One of the more popular designs in recent years is the Gunderson-GIMSA\/Concarril 5188cf Covered Hopper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gunderson 5188cf is a large 3-bay hopper that measures 58’ over the coupler centers and is built to fit within the Plate C clearance diagram. These all-steel cars feature a capacity of 5,188 cubic feet and are equipped with trough-style loading hatches for efficient loading. The hatch covers can either be made of metal or non-metal materials depending upon customer specifications. Each of its three bays features a 30” x 30” outlet opening, which can be outfitted with various outlet types depending on customer requirements and\/or commodities to be handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the production of these cars starting in 2007, they have gone through several design changes including the quantity and width of panels used to construct the car sides, addition of two or four large horizontal ribs on the car sides, and placement and design of pulling loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: Road number may vary from picture shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ScaleTrains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49778263097557,"sku":"SXT40407","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/1972\/4454\/files\/scaletrains-rivet-40407-ho-scale-gunderson-5188-covered-hopper-norfolk-southern-ns-298111.jpg?v=1728490810","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterosehobbies.com\/products\/scaletrains-rivet-40407-ho-scale-gunderson-5188-covered-hopper-norfolk-southern-ns-298111","provider":"White Rose Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
