The Central Vermont Railway (CV) chartered in 1843, operated in the New England states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York as well as the Canadian province of Quebec. 

Central Vermont operated until 1995. 

The Boston and Maine Railroad (B&M) offered freight and passenger service through most of

New England and New York from 1836 through 1983.

Some of the most common cars to ride American railroad tracks during the 20th century, the small, steel paneled, rib-side, two-bay hoppers, were instrumental to the growth of our nation. During the Industrial Age of the USA, coal was "King" and our appetite for "black diamonds" was sated by these pert little dumpsters. While no longer used for large commercial hauling, these mighty mites are all pervasive, found on every short-line, anywhere there are rails, still lugging coal, gravel, ore, sand, glass, and a variety of bulk materials. An invaluable "workhorse" even for our contemporary Railroads. 

These models have been equipped with our Full Throttle couplers, trucks and metal wheelsets. 

Hay Brothers has crafted the detailed coal loads. The 2-pk. carries two unique Reporting Numbers!
