Offset side 70 ton 3-bay hoppers first appeared in the late 1920s but by the late 30s they had evolved into the AAR standard design seen here. They were built in large quantities by many builders until the mid-1960s. Many remained in service into the 1990s.

  The 1,400 mile Chicago Great Western linked Chicago and Omaha on one axis and the Twin Cities and Kansas City on the other. The CGW used hoppers to move coal, stone, low grade iron ore and petroleum coke. The CGW became part of the Chicago & North Western System in 1968. This roadname will be available in 6 road numbers.
