A Hopper Car is a type of wagon used to transport bulk commodities such as coal, minerals, grains, ballast, etc. The name comes from the coke manufacturing industry, which is part of the steel industry (see Etymology below).
This type of car is distinguished from a gondola car to open the doors at the bottom or side to unload their cargo. Development hoppers went with the development of an automated processing of these products in the automatic loading and unloading. There are two main types of hoppers: covered and open.
covered hopper cars are used goods in bulk must be protected against the weather (Mostly rain), such as cereals, sugar and fertilizer. Open cars are used for products such as coal, which can be wet and dry with less harmful effects. Hopper cars have been used by railroads throughout the world increasingly automated handling has been desired. "Jennies Ore "is essentially short-term for taconite hoppers wheel drive open by Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range iron bar Range of Minnesota.
Recently North America open hopper car was terminally ill due to the arrival of the vehicle running dumper (just that reverses the car downloads, and became the technology shock is preferred). A rotary dumper permits the use of simpler, stronger, more compact (because He ends the slope not necessarily) gondola instead of trays. covered hopper cars, however, are still widely used. For loads are less dense (such as grains) or likely to be damaged over time (such as mixing cement), covered hopper cars are normally used.
