Here are some examples of ex-Frisco Greenville 100 ton 15 panel hoppers. One can still see many of these roaming the rails. Aside from the HLMX reporting marks, they seemed to have changed very little if at all from thier Frisco days.

While attending "Galesburg Railroad Days" I spotted a few more ex-Frisco Greenville 15 panel hoppers. All photographs taken on 23 Jun 2007 at Galesburg IL by Rich Lawler.
Thanks for posting the pics. I always did like these cars better than the later kit-built 12-panel "Crisco Frisco" cars. Ken |-| Meteor910
