Great thread! I knew of the rebuild rules for passenger cars, but not their freight car counterparts!
Early on, metal hopper cars had major rust problems. These problems were greatly reduced with the introduction of corrosion-resistant Cor-Ten steel. This is the same cheap and strong material that was used by everyone except Budd to produce lightweight passenger cars.
