N&W HL Class Hopper Road Numbers? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

RJLOGR Forum Member

Hi,

I would like to know the road numbers of N&W, Class HL, two bay, O.T., 55 ton, fish belly hoppers?

I'm getting no luck on the Inter-Net, or I'm not asking the correct questions.

Thank you,

Ralph

The reference you ought to have is Norfolk and Western Coal Cars. Road numbers for the cars with sloped side sheets were 22000 through 25999; 69500 through 69499; 38000 through 39999. Later cars in the HL class did not have sloped side sheets. Starting in 1949 an unknown number were rebuilt into Class H9 and (I think) no longer had the sloped side sheets.

Rex,

Is that correct, just two cars?

Rex,

I did not thank you for the correct nomenclature name of 'Sloped Side Sheets,' rather than 'Peaked' ends.
