Let's get hoppin'!!

70-Ton Hopper, PRR 666573

Built in 1960 by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Arrived Danbury Railway Museum, December 10, 1997.

 

I really like the paintscheme on this one:


A Union Equity hopper passing a Union Equity elevator:


Two different KCS hoppers:


And it's not really a hopper, but an airslide is close:

Just bear with me...I like me some of those covered hoppers!

 

WHOA! I've never seen hoppers that full...

 

Found in Denver a couple months ago.
Looks like SSW 23540


And another DRGW car from the same day. Pardon the poles, could NOT get a better shot.



Caught on way home. Stopped at Pecos street grade crossing. Entering DRGW North Yard.

 

Here's a hopper being used as an idler for a KCS special load....



between KCS 4002 and the 200 Ton depressed center flat.



And the rear idler dropped across the road.

 

Here's one of a UP hopper being cut apart!



And here's a bit better shot, showing entire car.

 

What else would you do with a UP hopper but cut it up LOL
BNSF fan HE HE!

 

Earlier this month I saw a BNSF grain train at Morris, MN and the first 7 cars had the new logo. I didn't have my camera...

 

Not exactly a UP fan myself. They hosed the DRGW so bad, it's not funny.

 

Something from my collection



Hopper bottom???
