Title:  By gone days...
Description:  When the Apalachicola Northern was absorbed by GWI in 2005, the lines huge amounts of boxcars in blue and yellow and the large amount of woodchip hoppers in storage, GWI had a massive fleet of excess cars. Now, patched over- this woodchip hopper belongs to M&B. I could not get the number but i have been fortunate to shoot many of the old AN woodchip cars.
