In 1964, N&W tripled in size by merging, or leasing, Nickel Plate Road, Wabash, Pittsburgh & Western Virginia, and Akron Canton & Youngstown. What mage the merge so odd that N&W didn't directly connect with any of them! N&W had to buy Pennsylvania's Columbus-Sandusky line to connect with its new properties. N&W inherited these "open triangle" ACF covered hoppers from Nickel Plate and Wabash, plush 2 cars from Virginian, merged four years earlier. The paint scheme depicted here began to appear in 1971, replacing the round "Hamburger" logo. These gray cars have black and white lettering and are available in singles and 3 packs with a total of four different road numbers.
