The design maximized interior width, lowered the center of gravity, and improved tracking stability. Between 1950 and 1964, these cars were produced by National Steel Car, Canadian Car \u0026amp; Foundry, Marine Industries, and Montreal Locomotive Works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eThroughout their production run, variations included multiple roof‑hatch configurations and the adoption of side‑sill openings—an early CP innovation that became standard after 1954 to improve access to discharge mechanisms. These versatile cars remained common on Canadian and U.S. rails into the late 1990s, hauling grain, malt, sugar, cement, and even company sand loads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eAtlas offers this distinctive model in 6‑, 8‑, and 12‑hatch versions, with optional side‑sill openings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-lg-strong pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:first-child)]:pt-3.5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul role=\"list\" class=\"relative list-outside marker:text-foreground-750 dark:marker:text-foreground-600 flex flex-col ms-4 px-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ps-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eDetailed, injection‑molded body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ps-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eCorrect trucks with metal wheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ps-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eBody‑mounted AccuMate knuckle couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ps-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap\"\u003eAccurate, prototypical decoration\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52968842658109,"sku":"ATL 20007166","price":53.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/6284\/7293\/files\/h20007165_1.webp?v=1788457966","url":"https:\/\/www.abchobby.ca\/products\/atlas-master-ho-slab-side-covered-hopper-canadian-pacific-381128","provider":"ABC Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
