I’ve never seen covered hoppers with those inverted V shaped covers over the hatches. Does anyone know what they are for?
The covers on top of the covered hoppers are only used for Coors Brewery intra yard moves from the east end elevator to the Golden Brewery (about 2-miles west). Here’s view at the loading elevator Saturday, 15 February 2025.

Loving the pictures, COZephyr1. Not just the trains, but the scenery. The different colours of the grass. The river with the debris. The footboards in the tracks. All wanting to be modelled.

Yes, those CORX covered hoppers with inverted covers only moved within the Coors trackage at Golden, CO. (Molson-Coors Brewery complex)

Right in the middle of all that brewing and railroading activity sits the Coors Family Mansion.

Here is a closeup from Google Images:
Some years ago, I knew a guy who was modeling the Coors brewery. I scratch built a model of the Coors Family Mansion for him. It was not an exact replica, but I believe that it had the look and feel of the actual mansion.
