CB&Q HC-1 180057
Title:  CB&Q HC-1 180057
Description:  CB&Q class HC-1 180057 at Saint Louis, Missouri on an unknown day in July 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 180057 was one of 100 class HC-1 covered hoppers in the 180000-180099 number series built in 1940 by the CB&Q's Galesburg, Illinois shops to a basic ACF design. This series of cars were equipped with eight square loading hatches on the roof, four Enterprise gravity discharge gates, and National Type-B trucks with a five foot, six inch wheelbase. The trucks were classed as No. 70 on the CB&Q, not to be confused with the No. 72 truck (also National Type-B, but a five foot, eight inch wheelbase), which was used on the next batch of HC-1's (#'s 180200-180249), built in 1943 at Havelock, Nebraska.
