HYWX Open Hoppers

HBWX is one of the reporting marks for Georgia Power. It is used for cars assigned to the Yates plant.

Georgia Power has two series of HYWX five bay rapid discharge aluminum open hoppers:
HYWX SeriesBuilt CapacityGRL
2001-27004400 cf286,000
99000-9942419994418 cf286,000

These HYWX cars are usually seen mixed in with Georgia Power's HBWX Hoppers. The first two digits of the car number indicate the year the car was built.

Georgia Power also has cars marked RWSX, for cars assigned to the Scherer plant, but they haul coal from the Powder River Basin, so they never show up in the Appalachian hills of VA/WV.

(Thanks to Kevin Brown to proving much of the above information.)
