ANOTHER BLUE TRAIN; PT2

Last week saw an unexpected medical event. However, my health has returned, so here's more of the blue train...

If it's a blue train, it's got to have ADM hoppers in it!

A trio of CNW hoppers. Originally green, the paint faded to blue on many of the Northwestern's hoppers over time. Apparently, a bad batch of paint was used, as many other cars have stayed green.

After the  blue CNW hoppers come a string of GATX baby blue Airslide hoppers.

The final GATX car is a two-unit paired Airslide. A blue (!) tank car splits the string of covered hoppers.

Another string of ADM hoppers follows the tank car.

After the ADM hoppers is a pair of ex-Golden West boxcars, one with graffiti and one with the vandalism painted over -dark blue on faded blue. SSW is the Saint Louis South Western (also known as the Cotton Belt); a subsidiary of Southern Pacific.
