There were a number of these in the train. Wood chip cars with the center section removed. Frankenhoppers. Thanks for checking these cars out. I try where possible to show clean ones.

Geneva Short General Nice find, Fred...split personality! I think these old wood chip cars were shortened for coke service without the bother of repainting (so there's a yellow seam in the middle and the "Family Lines System" lettering is cut off. . Low budget! 11/10/2011 4:18:21 PM
Randy Curlin General Wow a chop shop special 11/11/2011 2:53:16 PM
Bernie Feltman General Low cost solution to a high-volume, low-density cargo. I was very surprised the first time I saw one of these but it makes great sense 11/18/2011 10:37:20 AM
