Engineered to dump its entire load to either side of the track using massive pneumatic cylinders, these cars allow for "on-the-fly" unloading without the need for additional heavy machinery. BNSF maintains a significant fleet of these rugged cars for track bed remediation, landslide clearing, and ballast spreading throughout its massive transcontinental network. Often seen in dedicated "work trains" or as part of a MOW consist led by older geeps or SD40-2s, this car is a prototypical necessity for any layout modeling the BNSF from the 1990s through the present day.
