Boston and Maine Sand Hoppers

March, 2018. Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, USA

A lot of modern sand hoppers pass through town.

.

Then one week, some old Pullman Standard hoppers come through. Just a few.

.

Notice the patterm of the Trinity Railcar curved sides and the flat ribbed sides of the Pullman Standard.

GAMX 900-series.

They remind me of the Roundhouse kits in the hobby shop in Marshfield. That's been gone a long time.
The B and M blue was interesting. And it has a nice contrast color for some weathering.

It's an interesting Spring. In April, after this picture, we had 10 inches of snow.
and by April 15th, 2018, we had another storm for 2 days with 19 more inches. Snow banks are higher than we had all Winter.
