My son & I photographed it's 'twin' in East Dubuque Sat, Nov. 27! Talk about
coincidences! (taking last of Kodachrome slides but will see if we can get a
scan up later; part of a string of 5 BN related hoppers near where BN had a
derailment Wed that closed the line briefly near East Cabin).

Subject: [CBQ] CBQ steel 4 bay hopper on the NIFA branch in Aurora IL
Just wanted to let everyone know I posted some shots of CBQ 160926. I found the
car on the NIFA branch on the west side of Aurora yesterday. The BNSF has a
string of gondolas and open hoppers down by Sullivan Rd, they are using them
for the cleanup of garbage left by the MOW crews that worked the branch this
summer. Nice to see something with CBQ reporting marks still out there. I
thought it was one of 2 hoppers I caught last year but it turned out to be new
to me. Does anyone know how many cars that still have CBQ reporting marks are
left on the BNSF? There used to be a tank car that was in diesel service, I
caught that one at Eola a few years back. Here's the link to the photos in the
photo section.
