Clinchfield Railroad received this group of 500 hoppers from American Car & Foundry in 1944. CRR loaded both steam coal (used in boilers) and metalurgical coal (used to make steel.) The former tended to move to the rapidly industrializing South  and the latter moved north into the Industrial Midwest. They also handed off coal to C&O and N&W for the ports at Newport News and Norfolk.
