Eastern Railroad Discussion > Unusual Cars At HyndmanDate: 05/08/13 17:31 Unusual Cars At Hyndman Author: BaltoJoey On the Hyndman cam at 1:55PM EDT <Actually 4:55 PM EDT> at about the 50 second mark
there is a string of odd looking hopper cars. They appear to be an olive green color and have a curved roof edge. I could not make out the reporting marks. But they have a 9 digit number on them. Can anyone give me additional information about them? BaltoJoey Date: 05/08/13 17:39 Re: Unusual Cars At Hyndman Author: toledopatch I don't think they have nine-digit numbers. There's merely somewhat of an image echo because of the camera's sloppy resolution.
Date: 05/08/13 18:09 Re: Unusual Cars At Hyndman Author: Ray_Murphy I read 9-digit numbers such as 386 000 002, 386 000 337, 386 000 223, 386 000 449 etc. It looks like the reporting marks are CCX. The canted top is reminiscent of carbon black hoppers, but these have conventional-looking hoppers, not the funnel types found on carbon black cars.

The 3 bleeds into the 6 and makes it look like an 8. Also if you check out the FLCX roster you`ll see some others that are mixed in. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/rsList.aspx?id=FLCX&cid=5&Page=1 twl Edited 4 time(s).
