Abstract

The article discusses the way railroads hauled grain that went through a radical change in the 1960s. It explores specific covered hoppers that dominated grain traffic to know how to make trains, operations, and scenes more realistic. The abandon of boxcars by the 1980s and the shift to covered hoppers by the end of that decade are also tackled.
