Three hoppers
Title:  Three hoppers
Description:  This photo and the two that follow show three different styles of covered hoppers rostered by the KCS. All are used in grain service. These were on the dodger, L 102, at Jefferson St in Siloam Springs. It is one of the Belle schemed hoppers from 2007. These were originally used in solid trains with the then new "Retro Belle" scheme Mike Havery was applying to the motive power after years of monotone colors.
