SPĀ® is a registered trademark of the Union Pacific Railroad.
This 40ā standard box car with single door is brown with white lettering and runs on Bettendorf trucks. In the early 20th century there was an increasing need to transport dry goods in bulk by rail. To meet this growing demand, many railroads took excess boxcars and converted them into enclosed hoppers. Hatches were installed on the roof to facilitate loading of granulated loads, such as phosphate, dry concrete, or in this case, granulated sugar.
