Conrail H42 Covered Hopper

I just picked up a Delaware Valley Conrail H42 hopper and could someone tell me what kind of loads it carried?  I’ve exhausted all of the regular sites to find such information, but I’m running out of luck and patience  :|

Thanks,
Adam

Conrail definitely hailed cement, sugar and grain in the H42’s.  Possibly flour and zinc too.  Thanks.

I've seen cars similar to this at a ceramic tile manufacturer near Gettysburg in the past, so can possibly add clay to the list
