Southern Railway received this group of 1,450 hoppers from Pullman Standard in 1943. This was the second largest fleet of “War Emergency” hoppers, behind C&O’s 3,000 car fleet. Much of the coal loaded on the Southern was destined for factories and retailers in the Industrial Midwest via Southern’s connections in Cincinnati and Louisville.
