12 Totally Different Silo Cars

Fine-grained and dust-forming products such as aluminum hydroxide, aluminum sodium sulfate, quartz sand, cement, or food products such as sugar or salt cannot take moisture. They are transported in containers that have filling openings and unloading equipment. The type Ucs 908 is a car meeting these requirements. In the Fifties and Sixties over 1,000 units of these cars were purchased. In each case the car was assigned exclusively to one type of freight load (chemical materials or food products). They differ from each other in things such as the presence or form of a manual brake platform. Over the course of time the DB leased or bought quite a number of these cars such as to the Railroad Freight Service Stock Company (EVA) or the Central German Railroad Company. These 8.54 meter / 27 foot 9 inch long cars ran in mixed freight trains or as unit trains for specific customers.
