This decal is designed to fit the Intermountain 1958 cu ft 2 Bay Covered Hopper. Need an accurate ACF roof to go with that? Yarmouth Model Works has got you covered here . (Scroll down on their HO kits page, and look for kit #103)
Enough lettering is supplied in this decal set to letter one car.

A white background is provided to decal on top of the modeler-supplied placard, if you are doing one of those cars. Laying the Red & Black logo on this white background results in a proper Burlington Route logo.

Chuck Zeiler has some photos online, showing how long these cars lasted on the BN -- into the 1980s:
