The WP&YR ex. EBT hoppers have loading limit stenciled on the side of the car. They don't mention the capacity but again a much more effective limit, the load limit.
If you see on the side the white line. This is the loading limit. It even was reduced over the years. Also a steel angle was added to the side.
Maybe one important note. No former EBT equipment were used at this train. All hoppers came from the NflD Railway.
