    Good afternoon.

    Can anyone tell me if Montana Rail Link has any 4740 CUFT PS-2 Covered Hoppers painted in their corporate colors?

    If anyone has any photos of said cars (if they exist) I would appreciate it if you could email them to me or post them here.

    Thanks

    Gordon

    Gordon -- Those vertical rib side 4,427 cu. ft. covered hoppers numbered in the MRL 45XXX series and the shorter 3,000 cu. ft. MRL 91XX series hoppers are the only vertical rib side hoppers MRL has in the fleet.

    Hemi do you like the older Mopars or the newer SRT line of DaimlerChrysler products?

    Both. I would love to have the new Charger SRT8, or the upcoming Challenger. I like both kinds of Challengers--the 4-6-6-4 variety as well as the 4-wheeled kind too! I am quite fond of the Dodge 'Sweptline' trucks, from 1965-1971. I also like the 'Utiline' trucks in the mid-70's vintage. My dad bought a 1974 Adventurer SE new,a nd drove it till he couldn't afford to fix it anymore. I grew up with that truck, and I'd love to restore one similar someday. Of course, it'd have to have a big block in it! ;)
    As it stands no, I love my Dakota--it has gotten me to many great railfan locations, like this one:
