Eastern Railroad Discussion > RF&P grain car heading west in original paint!Date: 03/10/04 16:43 RF&P grain car heading west in original paint! Author: CW44AC60 I forgot to let everyone know that there was an original paint RF&P grain car in the original road markings heading west towards clifton forge yesterday on a grain train lead by engine 213...for anyone who can trace this baby for the people in the midwest to catch it would be appreciated.
Thanks. Date: 03/10/04 17:27 Re: RF&P grain car heading west in original paint! Author: jonnycando There are still a few of those floating around, of course I get to see them regualry as I am as likely to get a grain train as anything else. My personal favorite is the shorty Chessie grain hoppers many of which you might see yet.

Jeff Hawkins - Richmond, VA Date: 03/11/04 04:35 Re: RF&P grain cars - Only 11 left Author: gp39 The RF&P had 100 of these rib sided covered hoppers, numbered 9000-9099. As of today, there are now only 11 left with original reporting marks. Here is a list of the surviviing numbers you can use as a checklist...see if you can get shots of them all before they are all "tagged". The individual numbers are as follows:
RFP 9012 RFP 9015 RFP 9016 RFP 9024 RFP 9027 RFP 9029 RFP 9034 RFP 9037 RFP 9042 RFP 9048 RFP 9074 Good luck! John Date: 03/12/04 00:12 Re: RF&P grain cars - Only 11 left Author: JohnZuna CW44AC60, do you work for CSX?
