This gravity unloading silo car is one of the hopper wagons, consisting of a single tank arranged longitudinally and opening onto several unloading hoppers (3 or 4). The bottom ends of the tank are angled inward to guide the granulated material to the nearest hopper. The tank is often rounded in shape, which gives the cars an intermediate appearance between the cylindrical shape of the tank car and the funnel shape of the hopper car.
Depending on its purpose, a silo wagon may be called a cement wagon or a grain wagon.
