This 2009 picture of a rail car is an obvious patch job. Former Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railorad (CRIP aka ROCK) Covered Hopper purchased by the Chicago and Northwestern (CNW) when the ROCK went out of business March 31, 1980. The ROCK paint has lasted longer than the CNW reporting marks on the side. They are readable on the end, but the original ROCK paint is at least 29 years old. |
