History: The H-22a was a converted
H-22 coke car. The H-22 was originally built with clam shell doors but were
converted to saw tooth doors as shop repairs were required. This conversion
did not cause a class change so either type of doors could be found at various
times. The conversion to class H-22A began in 1923. This conversion replaced
the coke slats with solid panels above the belt line and placed the car
on 70 ton Crown trucks. Carrying capacity was increased to 140,000 pounds
of coke. 3671 H-22A's were converted by 1930. After 1930 the H-22 class
cars were scraped instead of any furthur upgrades.
