Covered Hopper Question

Caught this a couple weeks ago on CSX.  I've never seen another done like this.  Anyone know the history behind these cars.

I think they were built with BLMA trucks...  ;)

The IM 5161s look GREAT on BLMA trucks.

For some reason IM ships these with the MT washer installed just so they have a gratuitously high ride...    ???

Bob, I have spotted a bunch of these on the eastern shore for Crop Production Services. They usually have SOO markings and frequently are in potash service.
