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.
70 ton covered hopper
They remind me of the Roundhouse kits in the hobby shop in Marshfield. That's been gone a long time. |

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. |
