MFA Covered Hopper
Title:  MFA Covered Hopper
Description:  I tried for years to get a good shot of a PTLX covered hopper marked for Missouri Farmers Association, MFA. This is the best I got- in the setting sun at the former St Jo Terminal yard. The white body and red/blue stripes are stained and faded; but the spirit is still there.
