I’ve always taken some interest in the colorful grain hoppers which come out of the upper Midwest.  I see fewer it seems these days.  But, when I get the chance, I get a snap shot of them.  Pink sure beats the every-day taupe, cream, gray, or other neutral color used on most modern covered hoppers these days.  L&N’s “Big Blues” were one of my favorites as a young man.  You could find them in several spots on the old Hook & Eye line in North Georgia.  I caught this on the “Cut Off” in Madisonville, KY.   Bill Thomas
