Rdgrail OFFLINE Fireman Posts: 77 Thank you received: 16	Does anyone know any information on the hopper cars in the background of this photo? Also does anyone have any other pictures of them? What were they used for and why are they painted brown instead of black like the normal RDG hoppers? Nick Attachments: RDGSnowplow-1954.jpg (44KB)
