Just saying 
I have one question:
Since when are these hoppers and the newer ones from DTG (PennCoal, Dash8Pack01) in use?
Thanks
Kris

General Overview of Rotary Dump Gondola Types
The development of the high capacity rotary dump gondola in the early 1970s led to huge efficiency gains in coal transportation compared to traditional manually-operated bottom-dump hopper cars. Rotary dump cars are cheap to manufacture and cheap to maintain since they have no moving parts other than the wheelsets, couplers, and brake rigging. They are generally lighter than bottom dumpers, which means increased coal capacity.
