Conrail open hopper Class HR1B CR 476706 August 1995

Although the ConRail Renumbering Guide (printed July 9 1976) lists the origin of CR 476706 as PRR 288049, the HR1B class designation along with the telltale angle iron reinforcements on the top chord identify this equipment as a former Reading Company car.
