Yeah, the 1950s date for Covered Hoppers was off the top of what's left of my head. I was thinking of the LNE cement hoppers, which were the first ones that I remember in quantity.

There were some earlier ones for Carbon Black as well.

The C&S's hatched Box Cars were a good fix to a nagging problem on a stretch of line that was slated to be abandoned any way. Abandonment of the South Park had been a foregone conclusion since the Q takeover in 1909.
