I'm having a problem with the SHS short covered hoppers.? These were made by putting a top on regular open hoppers.? I think they were the last covered hoppers Don did. They are derailing in trains

Bob...I am not sure "ability" had anything to do with it.? At the outset of concept and design, the #1 goal was a long mainline with broad curves and shallow grades.? I've always liked long freight
