HOPPER CAR DISCHARGE GATE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to a discharge trough for use in combination with a discharge gate of a railroad hopper car. The discharge gate has slanted side walls terminating in spaced, longitudinally extending lips which define a longitudinal dis- charge opening. The longitudinal trough has a somewhat round- ed or circular cross section and merges with the lips of the slanted side walls to define the discharge opening. The slant- ed side walls are generally flat in the area adjacent the lips, with the lips having a rounded contour merging into the somewhat rounded inner wall of the trough. There is a rod-like discharge valve positioned within the trough adjacent and slightly below the lips to control the flow of material through the discharge opening.
