    Thanks to a deep layer of grunge, the Rio Grande herald is barely visble, but it's there!

    I don't imagine you had to grab that shot very fast, as a train on Tehachapi doesn't generally go very fast....

    Hey Doug, is it me or is that Carbon Black hopper way bigger than the normal 40-footers I usually see.

    Now didn't Klemme Coop postdate CNW? Seems this shoud be a NAHX or RREX or something repaint instead of a CNW? I was just surprised that this was repainted as CNW.

    Really nice pictures, everybody.

    Additionally, are there any sand hoppers anymore? Those used for sand for the diesels?
