scrap...
Many of the coalveyor cars have been repurposed into scrap service or tie hauling service so while they no longer haul coal, they are still around today. I like the fact that Atlas included a load, but it would have been more appropriate to have it been scrap load. The load can be used a base for new load or painted to represent finely ground steel shavings.
