PASSING TRAINS PT57; GM408 PT2

Last week we saw GM408 enter Hillsdale. More of the train...

Another hopper with CHTT reporting marks and the new 'star' logo, but with the all-too-common graffiti.

A hopper leased from GATX. The Union Pacific uses CMO reporting marks for leased hopper cars.

Another GATX hopper, this one with GATX reporting marks. It is also a larger hopper than the previous one; 5188 cuft vs 5161 cuft.

An end-to-end comparison of the two designs; Trinity 5161 on the left, and the slightly larger Gunderson 5188 on the right.

Another Trinity 5161 is this hopper with minimal lettering. The CEI, formally the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, was purchased by AP&W predecessor APRR in the late 60's, along with its subsidiary the Chicago Heights Terminal & Transfer (CHTT). Like the UP's CMO hoppers, these CEI cars are leased.
More next week!
