Lucky find! Those are slowly becoming harder to spot. Many former Milw cars have been partially altered. At least having a restencil to a new owner.

I have seen some of the yellow C-6 hoppers the past six months. But all are rather patchy. Filthy. And have new owners marks.

We get a little of everything through here too, but most of it is in pretty rough shape! graemlins/220.gif

Milw 101518 (Yellow PS Covered Hopper) came across the Albina One Spot today. Very faded, but all original markings intact, except for load weight blacked out. "Americas Resorceful Railroad" placard on left side, rusted through to the point pretty much gone, right side placard was in much better shape. only grafitti was one small mark, on one of the hopper bays. Sorry no pictures, I'll try tommorow if we don't get a "pull" tonight.

Sorry I have been a ghost, as of late, 72 hrs overtime in just the the last 2 weeks.

BTW, we are going to be hiring more Carmen for Portland.

Digital is great! You can instantly see if what you captured is how you'd hoped. And the downloads at home allow immediately printing, or sharing.

If only digital was around 30 years ago! :rolleyes:
