Covered Hoppers...
Next to hoppers and boxcars, covered hoppers were the most plentiful type of Chessie car on the East End.  Chessie covered hoppers were the most popular road on the East End, but Norfolk & Western and Chicago Northwestern both were seen regularly.

Click below for pics of my models.  Accurail makes a great big ACF (American Car Foundry) type covered hopper.  Bowser makes an excellent small PS (Pullman Standard) type covered hopper.  Atlas makes a superb cylindrical hopper.
