Railcar deja vu.
Author: SPgoletablock

While out chasing the Guadalupe Local on its trip with 2 empties for IMERYS Minerals on the Lompoc/White Hills Branch, I saw this relatively ungraffitied covered hopper. The trip for this hopper up to the plant was on 5/8/2018, my good friend gave me a hard time for not getting a better shot of the car as he had never seen one before. We actually tried to intercept it on its trip down the Coastline on the Guadalupe Haulers Eastbound trip, but were unsuccessful.
I was out in the Cajon/Victorville area on 5/19/2018 and was hanging out on the lookout above Frost and low and behold none other than ACFX 38392 rolled by on a EB UP Manifest. I've been known to chase a specific locomotive or train but this railcar just fell into my lap, pretty random.

It was your destiny that this car found you, after you searched for it!
Thanks for posting, do others in TO land see these specifically lettered hoppers often?
