The N&W HC-1 covered hoppers are very similar to the PRR H30; N&W had 10 cars in this class; the more numerous HC-2 were basically identical, but lacked the "rivet strip" in the center of the car. Info/drawings available at www.nwhs.org and search the archives.

Tim O'Connor replied: "The N&W HC-2 class built in 1942 are nearly the same -- some roof hatch differences, maybe a few other details." N&W 70160-70219, 60 cars. Photo after 1965 repainting from the Virginia Tech Norfolk Southern collection (and the only Class HC-2 photo in the collection online): http://spec.lib.vt.edu/imagebase/norfolksouthern/full/ns2151.jpeg I'd like to emphasize that these are NOT secondhand cars from the Pennsy, but acquired new by the N&W.
