Abstract

A railroad car adapted for open-top transport of materials including a receptacle for receiving a selected material. The receptacle is defined vertically by a floor, defined laterally by first and second sidewalls having a height and extending at an angle from the floor and defined longitudinally by first and second end-walls having a height and extending at an angle from the floor. A lateral baffle disposed within the receptacle between the first and second sidewalls laterally partitions the receptacle into a plurality of cavities for reducing aerodynamic drag during open-top motion of the railroad car.
