Built in the mid-1970s for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe as a class Ga-197, this Airslide hopper was repainted into BNSF colors in the 1990s. With a special epoxy lining, these cars were specifically designed for use with fine-grained commodities, like powdered sugar, that could settle en-route making unloading difficult.
