Just saw a covered hopper in painted over but still obvious PENN CENTRAL markings, and tomorrow I GET TO SEE UP 844!!!
we have a few of those come from time to time through defiance.sometimes they get to stay on the Maumee & Western for awhile.
good luck on the 844
stay safe

In the past 7 years there have been many former Penn Central and ROCK Covered Hoppers come through on GTW and NS tracks that have had the cover-up paint nearly worn away revealing the PC and ROCK Graphics. They are rare, but if you see enough trains you will spot them.

once or twice a week ill see 3 or 4 PC covered hoppers with TSBY/GLC reporting marks…theres about 10 15 hoppers in a pool hauling sand to a customer in Owosso they show up in 3 to 5 car blocks for interchange at Ann Pere between the GLC and CSX…as of 2004 2 of them were still clearly carryng the PRR keystone on the side
