Nickel Plate Road ordered this fleet of 1,000 2-bay composite cars from Pressed Steel Car in 1923. All-steel hoppers had been the standard for more than a decade but NKP took the composite route to avoid projected steel shortages. NKP began applying this paint scheme after the car's first decade of service. The NYC&St.L is a reference to Nickel Plate’s full name, New York Chicago & St. Louis.
