List...

Next up we have another EL covered hopper, with 31 examples in the database...

EL 21200 - 21299, a 1958 cu. Ft. two bay covered hopper built by the Ralston Steel Car Company in 1949 for the Erie.

Picture...
See Attachment.

Locations...
Systemwide, but mostly east of Ohio. Several were noted hauling a chemical product to Royce Chemical in Carlton Hill, NJ, and to Thatcher Glass in Elmira. Others were going back empty to Allied Chemical at Solvay, NY. Others were going empty back to Phalanx, Ohio, and one was noted going empty back to Wedron, IL, via the BN.

Model...
The Ralston-built cars were essentially an ACF clone. Bowser makes a model of this car, out of production, but the lettering is incorrect. I would recommend obtaining the Kato model (actually an identical ACF car), which was available in EL as a three-pack, and then re-numbering one of the cars into the 212xx number series using the covered hopper set from Prime Mover Decals.
