Not sure what's shipping from Canada these days, maybe Grain, maybe Soda Ash. Suppose Google'ing on 'Richardson covered hoppers' would bring up Bob's photo. Date: 04/17/14 14:33 Re: Big train through Dunsmuir this morning Author: obsessedfoamer I need to come up and do some fishing! Soon!

It was known as Pioneer Grain. There rural elevators were wood and they were painted orange with yellow trim and roofs.

Date: 04/17/14 16:36 Re: Big train through Dunsmuir this morning Author: SP8595 It was a loaded Grain train GMETPX-14 (Grain-Eastport, ID-Pixley, CA)
Great catch with all the lead engines facing forward! Last time there was a CP rear DPU facing backwards on a Grain train, it led North on the empties! Date: 04/17/14 17:21 Re: Big train through Dunsmuir this morning Author: Cajon92 Excellent captures, Bob. Thanks for sharing.
