[Vehicle commentary]
- Hoki 1000 is a hopper car exclusively for transporting 35 tons of [fly ash] and [calcium carbonate]. The hopper part is designed to the full limit of the vehicle, and is characterized by its shape like [Kamaboko]. A prototype car appeared in May 1990, and a partially improved mass-produced car appeared in October of that year. By 1995, a total of 34 prototype cars had been manufactured, and they were nicknamed "White Hoki" because of the color of the car body. The models are prototypes of the mass-produced cars [Hoki 1000-1 to 31] and [Taiheiyo Cement].
