PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO. The 3-bay CenterFlow covered hopper first entered service in the mid-1960s, built by American Car and Foundry. The cars handle loads such as grain, corn and similar bulk commodities. The Centerflow design relies on the cars rounded body to provide structural strength – eliminating the traditional center sill, and making gravity unloading easier. Our 3-bay car represents the common 4600 cu. The railroads looking to replace their aging 40 box cars in grain service needed a modern hopper design. One that could operate within the tighter Plate B clearances for light branchline and industrial service. ACFs design won them many contracts from a plethora of railroads. One can find these cars still in revenue service today in grain trains and other similar service. Tools, Paints, & Adhesives. Athearn HO ACF 4600 3-Bay Centerflow Hopper KCS (3), ATHG15465.
