* Car type: Hopper cars are most common for grain and their capacity varies significantly. There are different sizes of hopper cars.
* Corn moisture content: Drier corn weighs less, allowing more bushels per car.
* Loading method: How efficiently the car is loaded impacts the final volume.
While a typical modern hopper car might hold around 3,000 to 4,000 bushels of corn, it's not uncommon to find cars with capacities ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 bushels or more. There's no single definitive answer. You'd need to know the specific car's capacity to be certain.
