Sold by the Hart-Otis Car Co. and built by Eastern Car Co. (DOSCO)[1][2] from 1940-1953, the 70-Ton Hart Ballast Cars were formally known as “Hart Selective Service Ballast Cars”, due to the use of specially-designed doors which allowed the lading to be discharged one of three ways: to the center of the rails, to the center and sides of the rails, or to the side of the rails only.

Listed by CPR as steel 40 foot longitudinal hoppers with 2 doors on each side these hoppers were used in ballast service on the D.A.R. and were in service on the C.P.R. system between 1953 and 1993.[3][4]
