Hey, i've wondered this for a long time ever since i was a little boy 'railfaning" around my home town of Colorado Springs. What ever happened to the CSDU Coal hoppers made famous by the DRGW? I remember one morening heading down with a fast food breakfast from McDonalds and making hte rounds through the yards and stuff. To find brand new Aluminum CSUX hoppers in the Drake Power facility limits! After that i never saw them again!
Yeah, I miss the steel Ortner cars too. Here's what they use nowadays. This was a 2005 pic, so I dunno what they currently use.
