Description

CP Rail/ex-SOO MOW 3-Bay Hopper w/tarps 4pk FOAM Rel. 02/24          

During the winter season railroads had to produce ways to keep loads in open hoppers from getting wet and freezing over during storms. One way was to cover the car with a tarp which could be easily removed by a work crew on site.  The model represents MOW hoppers carrying ballast that had road numbers spray painted on the sides.  Once the car was empty, the tarps could be folded and stored inside the hopper for the next loading operation.
