This was the first issue of the 6476 Hopper Cars and it came with bar-end trucks that are equipped with magnetic couplers. It is the only exception to this numbered series to have such trucks. Almost all of the 6476 cars are distinguished by the fact that they have operating couplers at both ends of the car, that came with AAR trucks and disc couplers. This car did not have a brake wheel and came in a late classic box that was labeled "No. 6476 / HOPPER CAR" in bold letters.
