I'm also researching another SOO Line Center Flow Hopper Road Number: 74516. Its markings show the following: CAPY 200000 LO; LD LMT 200400; LT WT 62600 NEW 10-76; Cu Ft: 4600

This car from a few numbers away  looks to have ASF 100-ton trucks http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/soo/soo074511gga.jpg .  I couldn;t find a photo of the other series you were asking about, but chances are they were an ASF or Barber design.

I'm researching a SOO Lone 55' Center Flow Hopper Road Number:93682

Its markings show the following: CAPY 194000 LO; LD LMT 197300; LT WT 65700

NEW 8-68; CU FT 5230.

I'm also researching another SOO Line Center Flow Hopper Road Number: 74516.

Its markings show the following: CAPY 200000 LO; LD LMT 200400; LT WT 62600

NEW 10-76; Cu Ft: 4600

What style trucks and their manufacturer do both these Hoppers require???

Thank You in advance for any and all assistance that you can provide. Respectfully Robert E. Cronan
