The Norfolk & Western Quad Hopper Car No. 6446 was available in 1954 and 1955, and shows the number "546446" printed on the car sides. The first two digits of this number indicate the year of manufacture, but when 1955 rolled around Lionel changed the number to "644625." See No. 6446-25 for the details about these cars.
All of the No. 546446 hoppers have "NEW 6-54" stamped on the sides. They came with hatch covers that are held to the body by three clips. This quad hopper has a brake wheel along with bar-end trucks that are equipped with magnetic couplers.
