If it's dust, why doesn't it coat the faces of the wheels as well?  Seems like they would have been as greasy/oily as the trucks and just as apt to attract the light gray dust.  Would there have been some part of their operation that might have kept them "cleaner"?Thanks again,Jim On Wed, Dec 25, 2024 at 10:35 PM NW Mailing List via NW-Mailing-List <nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org> wrote:

   Those cars have been hauling lime or cement.  Very common discoloration for cars assigned to such service.
