ABSTRACT:
A transition section for a railway hopper car carries structural loads from an endmost hopper of the hopper car into the hopper car end structure, whence the loads are transferred to and from other cars via the coupler, and into the rail car truck. The sidewall of the endmost hopper has an extension that mates smoothly with a curved flange extending from the hopper end structure, such that the transition varies smoothly in section.
