Hello everybody,

I have seen plenty of those tankers in tan over dark blue scheam with blue writing but I have not seen any of the pressureaid covered hoppers.

Has anybody seen them and what are there reporting marks and number series?

Any help with this would be very appreciated.

I will have to check next time I go trackside. We see a lot of those cars here in Wisconsin.

I’ve seen almost every other clay company’s covered hoppers except Theile’s. I see mostly J.M Huber and Penford & Ford but I have seen Engelhard, KT Clays, Georgia Clays, ECC International and Bentonite. I don’t know if HC Spinks and United Clays has any…wait a moment, I think I saw an United Clays too.
