Conrail inherited their 14-Panel Hopper fleet from New York Central (and subsidiary Boston & Albany) by way of PennCentral. They also inherited the very similar (all riveted) cars from Erie Lackawanna. New York Central was of course the creative force behind this design two decades before the Conrail consolidation. This roadname will be available in 12 road numbers.
