Builders Plate |

Since you don't often see photos of UP 844's builders plate, I decided to take one. It's a little difficult to even see, being mounted behind the wind wings. |

A decent looking Western Pacific hopper car wasn't far back in the consist on the MKCAT 29. I've seen probably a half dozen of these lately. I always thought they were neat looking cars. |
