Vanishing breed |
| Description: |
This DM&E covered hopper is yet another fallen flag in the CPKC empire. There are still quite a few of these cars in service, but they will be disappearing as time goes on and they get repainted or retired. There are some with the DM&E on the car, Im looking for those especially. This relatively clean car was on the 261 train. |

Clean hopper |
| Description: |
For once, a relatively clean car thats not covered in graffiti. I grew up in New York in the 60s and 70s, when it was everywhere on the NY subways, and the trains were just covered in spray paint. Now it seems like all the taggers have moved over to the main line. Its good to see a car thats more or less as built. In the yard at Watts. |
