Since the late 1960s, Seaboard Coast Line Industries had operated the Seaboard Coast Line with it's six sister railroads as the "Family Lines System". In 1980, SCLI merged with the Chessie System and it's four railroads to create the holding company CSX Corporation; two years later, CSX merged the Family Lines railroads to create the Seaboard System Railroad. In 1986, Seaboard renamed itself CSX Transportation. Here are two 70-ton hoppers which finally became part of CSX Transportation. The "HEAP SHIELDS" were a feature designed for hoppers in mountainous regions or for "Fast Freight" consists. These shields were adjuncts to prevent spillage and excess waste, while also affording more copious coal loads.
