How are the capacities of freight cars, such as 4-bay hoppers, determined? For instance, a "100 ton" hopper shows its capacity to be 208,000 pounds while another "100 ton" hopper next to it shows its capacity to be 215,000 pounds. <br /> <br />Who determines the capacities - the manufacturer of the car or the railroad whose reporting marks are on the car?
