Modern Rail Capital Open-Top Hoppers

Explore Our Open-Top Hopper Railcar Options

Open-top hoppers are designed to carry the maximum amount of coal, which still plays a critical role in the country’s industrial economy. Rail remains the overwhelming transportation of choice to move coal, accounting for nearly 70% of deliveries in 2019 – according to EIA data. Many of our coal hoppers are equipped with both bottom-gate unloading and rotary couplers, which allow for rotary dumping of the car’s contents. Open-top hoppers are logical options for those transporting bulk commodities unaffected by weather and are unloaded from under the car.
