This group of hoppers was built in 1948 for Chicago & North Western affiliate Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha (The Omaha Road) by Pullman Standard. During this period, open top cars on the greater C&NW system received only odd road numbers while enclosed cars received even numbers. The CMO had some degree of autonomy from C&NW until the latter leased the former in 1957. In 1972, the two were officially merged. This paint scheme will be available in six road numbers.
