[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Allen Jenkins</i> <br /><br />CSXT660319, is a rotary-dump only, using rotary couplers on both ends. <br />The hatches open for top loading, and the entire top opens to dump, as the car is rotated, the roof slides and is held by the top side sill. It may be unloaded, on either side. <br />The car dumper is like the Walthers rotary dump, an was invented right there at the CSX(Seaboard Air Line) Port Tampa facility, for the Florida Phosphate Industry. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />The Official Railroad Equipment Register (ORER) lists the cars as a steel rotary gondola with a hinged roof and used for Phosphate.The sequence for the CSXT cars is 660000-660419.
