Is it possible for Thrall 4750 Covered Hoppers to be bought out bya company or private owner and be used to carry plastic pellets?Possible, but not plausible, as the 4750 (well 4700, 4740 as well) are center discharge, pellet cars generally use a side discharge tubular outlet (who's terminology escapes me at the moment).
