LAFX 40178 shorty covered hopper
Title:  LAFX 40178 shorty covered hopper
Description:  LAFX 40178 shorty covered hopper having been returned from local spurs up in the Columbia Basin / Palouse Hills and dropped down in Connells yard... waiting, like me, on the local inbound delivery from BNSF - only shes waiting to be hauled away, Im waiting on the CBRW to cross the freaking bridge before I freeze to death in the wind chill. (You know how they keep the head trauma victim talking? Im taking pictures of the rolling stock to keep my finger from blowing off in the chilly wind).
