Isn't that the experimental aluminum hopper? Every other MTR hopper I've seen was black. Elden -----Original Message-----

Anyone knowAl, The Erie quadruple offset-side hopper cars, series 39000-39799, were built in 1930 by Standard Steel Car Co. Erie sold a bunch of them in the mid-late 1950s with some going to Norfolk Southern and Montour. Regarding the color, I knew that most (if not all) Montour hopper cars were painted black. However, the photo of Montour 100 (available from Bob's Photo) appears to be "light" and quite possibly a color other than black.
