These hopper cars would have walls that were inclined at relatively steep angles and have relatively large bottom discharge openings. The trailer car would include a transfer conveyor which receives the material from the train conveyor, and is movable on the trailer car to transfer the material to a selected point relative to the train.
With the unit train moving along a straight section of track, the material may be deposited in
