41'Ballast Hopper

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

G. Rolih,
      They are orange and what I believe could be a boxcar red. I see them 
all the time come
past the house. I live on the Manassas Gap Line here in Front Royal. Also 
there is a goodly
number of them east of here in Gainsville at a ballast loading siding. 
Orange and Red and all
still lettered for the Southern RR.
