Let's put it this way, the CYDX's that usually come to GR from Chi are gray/white and the black ones they use usually are the M??X's.

Yep that's the cars - a bunch went north of Bay City today BTW 3 bay hoppers

The black ones are MBKX. They're 3 bay versions of the 5-bay Ortner car that MDC (now Athearn) makes. In fact, I've modeled a few by cutting out 2 bays. Looks pretty close to the real ones.
