Prototype photo, SOO Line Covered hopper?

Postby tch22122 » Mon Oct 18, 2010 3:58 pm

Although I am not necessarily a fan of the Soo Line I do model the grain belt and the SOO is one line that served it well (and still does). What I am looking for is a prototype photo of a car or cars, covered hoppers, numbered 74000-74099. I looked on the Fallen Flags website but found no photos for cars in that numbering range. The Accurail kit I have is car No. 74071. Would appreciate this information for a reference for weathering. Maybe the SOO never had cars numbered within this series (?). For your benefit, these cars were supposedly build in the early to mid 70's. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks
