Apparently, there were a number of solutions created by various railroads to 
meet the interim necessity of moving grain in years in which grain harvests 
were substantial.  From page 172 (photo included) of UNION PACIFIC FREIGHT CARS 
1936-1951 by Terry Metcalfe, the following caption accompanies a clear photo 
of a relevant car:

"Freight car shortages caused by extraordinary harvests prompted the UP to 
apply temporary roofs to many of its hoppers and ballast cars.  The roof 
applied 
to this HK-50-4 was quite similar to the ones on the CH-70-1 and CH-70-2 
Covered Hoppers.  This photo dates from the mid to late 1940s."

The metal roof with hatches, grabs, and a center walkway is a removable 
structure.
