Model Railroading > New InterMountain HO Coil CarsDate: 02/12/18 14:29 New InterMountain HO Coil Cars Author: railwaybaron InterMountain has just announced new coil cars in MKT and MoPac "Screaming Eagle" schemes. Does anyone know if these cars would have been seen at the CF&I mill in Pueblo, CO, on the D&RGW? Thanks!

Many railroads had them with the most common being DT&I and Chessie. Others were NW, MP, MKT, GT(ex DT&I), and others I can't remember right now. There was a variation of the hood that was owned by DT&I and IC. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/13/18 04:32 by IronWill.
