Atlas Slab-Side Covered Hoppers

huh. CGLX 406 was a Pullman Standard 2893. So CGLX 401 must have been in a very small number series?

Since we are talking about Atlas slab sides, does anyone have any more information on the CGLX cars Atlas has also announced with this new run? Of the sources I have found, one says they are 6 hatch cars, another says 8 hatch. Which is correct?

It was, specifically CGLX 401-402 – notes in the ORER note these cars as having 8 roof hatches. As an aside, the PS car you reference was also part of a small group of cars: CGLX 403-406.
