N&W 6 axle hopper

Model Railroader Prototype information for the modeler

I’ve been looking for the last 2 hours or so for a picture of the N&W experimental 6 axle hopper. It was built IIRC sometime in the 60s. I don’t remember the class or the number either. If anyone has any pictures or could help me with the class or numbers, I’d really appreciate it.

Here is one picture I found without much trouble:

The date on the car apears to be 1963, the photo is dated 1967.

Here is some more info, it appears they only built this one.

Thank you! I was looking through the fallen flags site, but without the number had no luck. I originally found out about the car from that 2nd link, but couldn’t find it either.
