The Real Frisco 90378

SL-SF 90378 was part of a group of hoppers numbered 90000-90499. These 33' twin-bay hoppers were built by Pullman-Standard in 1948 at a cost of $3,741 each[1]. This series was unique to the Frisco because it was the only series of hoppers to have notched angular heap shields (not represented on the Industrial Rail model).
