These very distinctive cars are the railroad equivalent of a dump truck. Designed to carry up to 100 tons, they're fitted with large pneumatic cylinders and side doors, and can dump to the left or right of the tracks (the model is not operational). While used primarily in work train service for dumping ballast, fill and rip rap, they can also be used in revenue service to carry sand, gravel, cinders, coal, limestone and other loose bulk materials used in industry.
