Update! I had feedback that some folks would prefer two cars versus four cars. I have added a two car option to all the SP heavy-weight specials. Here is the link: ztrackcenter.com/azl/azl-black-fridayCheck them out!

Yes these cars are definitely in use today! A few months back, I saw a long string of these cars sitting right next to Lake Erie. What was neat about them was that they had the new TTX logo.
Great find on the video! I noticed the FedEx containers mixed in. You can easily add the 906557-1 AOK MAXI-IV Set 55286 set which came with 3x of those containers to represent the real train on your layout.

Are these used for track ballast ? These cars are used for aggregates, so heavy materials such as ballast, stone, sand, etc. I am seeing more and more of these here in Ohio has they are being used for materials used by the fracking industry. But yes, they are often used to haul and disperse ballast.

Tony Cook at Model Railroad News shared this photo. The photographer is Russell Eslick and is from the Kevin EuDaly collection. I is a great one to compare with the details from AZL. This photo is from Los Angeles in 1980.
