AC&F Freight Cars:
This page will be dedicated to freight cars built by American Car & Foundry. At this time I am choosing to focus on only covered hopper cars, but as I see a need, I may expand this page to include other types of cars.
COVERED HOPPERS:
American Car & Foundry built its first experimental covered hopper in 1911 (Anheuser Busch ABBA 1000) and began mass production of covered hoppers in the late 1930's, but it introduced a design refinement to the covered hopper in 1961 for which it would forever be associated, the Center Flow design.
Pre-Center Flow:
| 2-Bay Covered Hopper | 3-Bay Covered Hopper | 4-Bay Covered Hopper |
Cylindrical:
| 2-Bay Cylindrical | 3-Bay Cylindrical | 4-Bay Cylindrical |
Center Flow:
| 2-Bay Center Flow | 3-Bay Center Flow | 4-Bay Center Flow |
Miscelaneous:
| Flexi-Flow |
