GECX DEMOS PT5

From last week...
A string of empty AEX hoppers lead the way after the tank cars; the rear end of the train has all of the empty hoppers that delivered the corn to the facility.
Like the tank cars, many of the hoppers are ADM-owned.
Note the contrast between newer and older paint on the cars. The car on the left has been recently repainted, and has ADM's new logo, while the car on the right still has its original paint from the 80's.
A partially-repainted CPLX hopper and a NOKL hopper are also in the mix. The CPLX car is a Canadian-style cylindrical hopper, common north of the border, but also common in the US. This car is owned by CP Rail, hence the partially covered "Pacman" on the end of the car. The NOKL car is a former Transport America car, hence the white stripe on the end.
This blue CATX car is leased to the UP.
Another NOKL car, this one ex-CNW, and a BNSF car fill out the train.
The EOT flashes to show the end of the train. Till next time, the end!
