Question about Con Cor 40' Open Hoppers

I have a number of Con Cor 40' steel open hoppers. However, I was looking on eBay and see a Con Cor wood side hopper. It that also 40'? Does it take the same load as the 40' steel hoppers I have?

Anyone know?


Hmm... I couldn't care
less...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Usually they were made of wood to save steel for the war. They should carry the same loads.

assuming you are referring to the 3 bay open hopper car, the steel and wood sided models are identical in size.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll be ordering some ballast loads.


Hmm... nothing interesting
