Western Railroad Discussion > Hoppers As LoadsDate: 11/06/12 16:15 Hoppers As Loads Author: ATSF2921 Earlier today, I seen two flat bed tractor-trailers with each carrying a covered hopper, minus trucks, rolling through Gardner, Ks today. Reporting marks on the 2nd one are "CMO 840706". The 1st one was too far ahead in traffic. I only saw the top and one end of CMO 840706 and didn't see any damage, so I don't know was involved in a derailmemt.
Does anyone know if these might have been from a derailment? TIA. Russell Honey Springfield, MO My Flickr page Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/06/12 16:17 by ATSF2921.
