Western Railroad Discussion > First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4023Date: 12/02/12 16:17 First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4023 Author: westernking Not posted in a while not much to report but here's a few from today.
1) Here the MWCNP 02 departs from Pepper with the now usual AC4400s leading. 2) The Mojave Flyer departs with three Triclops SD60ms for power. 3) Is this a tag or the mark of a railroad employee . Seems to come on trains from Roseville.    Date: 12/02/12 16:26 Re: First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4 Author: dharris Second unit in the first shot is an SD70...

Date: 12/02/12 18:48 Re: First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4 Author: howeld I see that chalk mark alot here in Ohio. There are several different ones that are very common if u look for them. This website has several examples of the chalk markings: http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/hobotags/Timeline
It just someing else to look at when a train is going by. I can get my non railfan wife to look for them as well. She likes Raildog. As to the SD40-3 the nickname ive been hearing is SpongeBob Square Cab. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/02/12 18:59 by howeld.

There's always something interesting at Pepper, even if there is "not much." Thanks for posting. Date: 12/03/12 08:28 Re: First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4 Author: cs I see those markings come through Richmond, VA a lot as well...
Chris Hamby Richmond, VA Date: 12/03/12 09:24 Re: First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4 Author: SP8595 Nice stuff, always enjoy your Pepper report!
Date: 12/03/12 13:56 Re: First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4 Author: wp805d Have seen this 'tag' on cars in Indianapolis and even on cars I spot in Kendallville, IN.
No specific type of car, everything from covered hoppers, cement cars, tank cars and boxes. Always with a date in the whistle and whatever he is feeling below. Always wondered where they originated. Roland WP805D Date: 12/04/12 10:01 Re: First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4 Author: Boiserailfan Those marks are hobo markings. Not sure who does them or where they come from. Only one that I seem to know alot about are the "Colossus of roads" ones. Nice catches all around.
Date: 12/04/12 12:35 Re: First from Pepper in awhile including pics of CSX 4 Author: ButteStBrakeman I don't care how many times I see these photos of the yellow s**t coming in and out at Pepper, it just ain't right......
