Ancient history |
| Description: |
A Virginian coal hopper passes through Forest Hill/75th St in Chicago. Merged road power may get repainted in a few years, but rolling stock seems to go on forever. Its been 25 years since N&W took over the Virginian, yet still there are hoppers running around in VGN garb. |

Cambria & Indiana |
| Description: |
There were some old short line and predecessor subsidiary lines that CR inherited when it took on the assets of the big roads. One such was the Cambria & Indiana, a coal mining line in western PA. It was more common to see these cars in that area, though sometimes one would escape. I got lucky, seeing this on northbound to Ludlowville on the Ithaca Branch. These cars were already old, and did not have much service life left. |

Old classics |
| Description: |
There were still some holdovers from the distant past on the equipment roster, and once in a while one or two would show up. Here we see a succession of sorts, with a PRR hopper still in pretty good paint with a PC car next to it. They were on a UNL coal train to NYSEGs Ludlowville plant, north of Ithaca. Conrail cars after the merger would use the PC number series, though the EL hoppers from 1973 would keep their numbers til retirement(I think there are still a few in MOW service on NS); as far as I know, none were renumbered. |

On the cloudy side of the street |
| Description: |
WAIT 2 has a block of empty coal hoppers rolling down the street on a cloudy day in Ithaca. It will take 15 minutes for the traffic to clear. Note the Greyhound at left. It is about to make its Ithaca stop, ironically at the old DLW station(yes, the DLW went to Ithaca), a small portion of which is seen at far right. |

Fallen flag hopper |
| Description: |
Pittsbugh & Shawmut sent a lot of coal to NYSEG from mines on its railroad in western PA, and these cars were a common sight in the Southern Tier. This XWB train to West Brownsville had a good number, including this one, crossing the PRR Buffalo Line at Olean. |
