History:
The open hopper is an evolution of the gondola, a simple freight car used for the transportation of various materials without and facility for protection from the elements. The hopper had higher sides than the gondola and possessed a mechanism on the bottom (bay doors) for discharging the load.
2-Bay coal hoppers were in common use in the first half of the 20th century. They were made in both ribside and offset side configurations.
