[RITSlist] ex-RI Speedlettered hopper

[tuba147 at aol.com]

Hi, I caught an ex-RI covered hopper in Topeka, KS?today that was still painted in the speedlettered scheme.? Here, we see plenty of ex-RI cars in the blue "Rock" scheme, but these speedlettered cars are always?a treat... even if you are shooting into the sun.? You can see it here:

Slightly off topic, is a CNW hopper I saw yesterday, numbered 471713.? Has anyone seen this paint scheme before on a covered hopper?? I've seen a few boxcars that got it, but not hoppers.? You can see it here, coupled to another ex RI car:

Thanks a lot, Jeff Carlson
