Grand Trunk Western received 500 of these hoppers from American Car & Foundry in 1952. GTW moved coal from connecting roads to power Michigan’s voracious auto industry, and also loaded significant quantities of gravel (for use in construction across the Industrial Midwest) on their Saginaw Subdivision. This road name will be available in singles, and 2-packs, each in different road numbers.
