Norfolk Southern Family Tree Car #11
Built for Conrail in 1994, this three-bay hopper with Barber Roller Bearing trucks eventually made it to the Norfolk Southern roster and was rebuilt by FreightCar America’s Roanoke Shops. With a 286,000-pound gross weight, these hoppers are used for coal and coke service on the east coast. Today, NS is one of the largest Class 1 Railroads with over 30,000 employees and operates nearly 22,000 miles of track in the Eastern and Midwestern United States.
